drewvr6 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 60mm is quite a drop mate most kits are around 40mm you could have clearance problems especially at the front Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 WATCH THE SUMP!! Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 60mm thats 6cm right? i think you'd seriously have to watch the sump, exhaust system, front splitter, and wont be able to drive over anything that has a bump in it. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBen 0 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 mk3anni is running approximately 60mm down on coilovers (I'm guessing as mine is 35mm drop and he is considerably lower than me). He's running 16's with 195/45/16's with no issues (his arches are rolled though). It really depends what you define as 'wide'. 9x16's can be run that low but will need a fair amount of arch work, and also you might have strut clearance issues with traditional struts rather than coilies, which are thinner.

dubloke 4 Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 i ran mine on 16's as well with a 60mm drop, no arch rolling and had no issues with arch contact or sump probs at all! Link to post Share on other sites
