That is about 30 or 20mm, sorry

#13: Re: Need advice, had car lowered 55m and looks about 10m Author: 00budham00, Location: IpsPosted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 9:50 am ---- i dropped mine 110 with coilovers and it looked the business!!!(plus sat how you explained how you wanted it) and now i have a cracked sump!!!! worth it umm unsure but it did look good.
i dont think i can keep stocking sumps tho not easy part to find !
if you wand it lower i would invest in coilovers but don't drop it to the extreme as i did
