175/60-13 TIRES

i recently  bought a set of  175/60-13 tires i took a picture of the rear suspension  compressed  35mm and was woundering if there are any others with the same  tire size and  could show me theyre car and tell me how much theyre car is lowered  my choices are  30/40  or  50/60  AP lowering  kit  but i fear the  50/60 will ruine the cars abilities on the winter to clear snow but i still wanna get the car lower then stock

Why don't you consider a set of adjustable coilovers, that way you can set the ride height to suit and raise them for the winter if necessary.

A set of coilies are reasonably cheap

Just under £200. These are the ones I've got and they are comfy too. Can't comment on life yet as they've only been on a couple of months.

What size wheels did you have originally? I always check the front first as this is where the problems tend to arise!
Brake clearance vs arch clearance!

Got the jom blue line coilovers fitted to my cabby yesterday and they seem great, nice and smooth and good cornering. Good value for money.

coriginaly i had  factory wheels with  155/80 tires    the  new wheels even with a  20mm spacer will tuck inside the the fender arch  and i need the spacer to clear the  caliper

but dont i  have to adjust the steering alignment  and every time i  raise and lower the  suspension?   i

thanks for the link bored one   i  do have the  option to get  ta technix and tuningart coilovers  in norway but the jom once are actually cheaper to import from england  the  total for the  coilies  shipping and import tax  totales  344 pounds

that jom setup is that  on its  highest setting still  80mm lower then stock?
