How much can u lower an s1 with 17`s before it rubs on the arches?

I`m running a set of rs7 diamond cuts.

 

30mm drop would be good mate.sit nice aswell.

 

how do??

i've got 40mm gmax springs with a coil cut off on my 16i sits braw and doesn't rub pal

 

Alrite neil hows it going??

U running 17`s now?

Its just looks like if i lower it, the tyres will hit the s1 arches, and i dont want that lol

 

mine was lowered 25mm and sat nice

 

60 mm springs

 

25-35mm m8 it will sit nice dont go for anything lower as your handling will be poo!!!

 

on the s2 neil it was dropped 40mm and sat/looked perfect imo

 

yes id go for 35mm for looks and handling,if you go lower it will look the nuts but be prepared for scrapes and decent handling loss

 

Any pics of this? I just lowered my mk3 with 60 60. Getting a set of 17" next week.

 

id say 30

 

Most kits are around the 30mm mark with a 5mm allowance either way some come out lower some come out higher, Id stick with somewhere between 30-40mm anylower and you could be losing ride quality just for the sake of it, plus too lower ride and your be catching speed bumps and ramps on exhausts or the front kit, depends on the area you live it, are there high bumps or short high ramps?

 

i know its not the same but pretty similar....I had 17s on my S2 and lowered 60mm, looked ace but drove horrible and could barely take a passenger in it - i'd say 30 mm mate
