100mm, but on 16's i don't think would be too practical lol
if i drop another 10-15mm from my stance, it should sit well :)

i was down 60mm when i had the 16'' ronals on and there was atleast another 20-30mm i could lower it (if i wasnt a cheapskate and actually bought some coilies)

yeah when i got my car it was down 110mm, couldn't even get it on the curb where i live, so it went up, but then i just got standard springs/shocks, then HATED the tractor stance, now i have lowered springs...but back to coilies lmao

it's a circle of life :p

lots of tools. 150 quid for a set of 5 '12 point' hex sockets for driveshafts :censored: 100 quid for new 1/2" ratchet, 40 for flexible 3/8" socket, 70 for new 3/8" ratchet. its all adding up. had a laugh with the snapon man, i stepped into the van and said " ill have one of everything" and he said "that'll be 65 grand please" :lol: he wouldnt let me pay it off at 20 quid a week :(

full time so i do all the work on my car meself (when i get time) and get my car on the ramp a maximum of once a month.

i got easily a grands worth of snapon. you definately feel a difference in quality. my ratchets are ultra smooth when they turn. got 2 sets of ratchet spanners at 180 a set, 2 full sets of sockets at 90 each plus loads more. got a ratchet adapter for my cracker bar too. makes it so much easier to use.

only halfrauds tool ive owned was my grandads 1/2" ratchet that was 40 year old and still worked. but it was nowhere near as good as snapon.
