due to my insistence on my s2 being low, i can tell you that if it is really quite low, u will need to significantly trim the rear arches and kit, and also remove a bit of the rear bumper where it goes into the arch. in terms of the front tho, iv wound my coilovers right down, and my 17s dont touch the arches and they are completely standard. i have removed the arch liners tho, and the arch liner bracket on the arch lip has been folded up out the way
