Lowering height recommendations

**Learch** · 5th February 2013, 21:23

I'm looking at lowering my 04 ls. Now if I wanted to go daft I'd get coilovers but I don't want to go that route. I'm planning on getting 18's in the future so I'm after advice for what height to go for. 30 mm or 40 mm all round or a 40/45 mm split? It still needs to be an everyday driver and also used for distance so needs to be comfy.

What engine do you have, 40mm gets my vote...

40 gets my vote too. That's what I'm planning.

40/40 then, 40/45 is only available on petrols iirc...

What's the rear camber like with 40mm drop?

Bearing in mind, if its an Sri its already 15mm lower, standard. So round 25mm drop.

Can you use camber bolts on the back? I'm not that clued up on the veccy c, give me a veccy b or astra f/g and ill get it handling on rails but the veccy c is a new plaything for me
