For everyone who's lowered their VF, paticularly those with 20' rims, how much did you lower the car by the get a good look? And do you have any issues with how low it is? Just want to get an idea of how much lower I'll need to go

Issues with rim fitment will largely depend on the width and offset of the wheel, also tyre sizes depending on how aggressive the fitment is.

Hey Joey, Have a look at my gallery, Mine has a Pedder's 30mm lowering springs in it, Find them sweet, Will touch headers on certain things if you are not aware and don't crawl it.

So basically going into the place with them on and having a talk is the best way to go?

I've been thinking 30mm is about right, will ask about them when I go in, thanks

I have fitted 20mm lowered pedders spring to my ssv wagon with 20's and honestly wouldnt go any lower it still touches on certain things. I can post measurements if that would help.

Thatd be good if you could, really the only one I'm concerned about is the front bumper because of my driveway and the terrible gutters around here

This is mine lowered on Eibach Pro springs (Drop 30mm I believe) and Bilstein Shocks. I have no clearance problems and retains a great ride quality.
