I have now got my coilover kit and am almost ready to lower my car but have a question before getting started . I will be running 17" aloys with 205/40/17 tyres but I have seen some cars on here who have lowered thier cars and the gap batween the rear wheel and arch is different to the gap batween the fron wheel and the arch . In the picture below , the 206 is what I want mine to look like although I do realise that there is a wide body kit on it . I wanna know if anyone know's what the hight should be ( front and back ) to get it like this without a wide body kit ? Any advice will be appreciated

The rear arch doesn't span into the bodywork as high as the front arch does, so to get the arch gaps identical you would have to turn your car into a real reverse rake

the fact that the picture you posted is a drawing doesnt help the case of trying to reach that as you probably never will? look for other user cars with similar to what you want imo

Thanks guys . The picture was just an example of what I would like my car to look like . I'll keep an eye out for other examples of lowering .
