100mm, but on 16's i don't think would be too practical lol
if i drop another 10-15mm from my stance, it should sit well :)

i was down 60mm when i had the 16'' ronals on and there was atleast another 20-30mm i could lower it (if i wasnt a cheapskate and actually bought some coilies)

yeah when i got my car it was down 110mm, couldn't even get it on the curb where i live, so it went up, but then i just got standard springs/shocks, then HATED the tractor stance, now i have lowered springs...but back to coilies lmao

it's a circle of life :p

i got easily a grands worth of snapon. you definately feel a difference in quality. my ratchets are ultra smooth when they turn. got 2 sets of ratchet spanners at 180 a set, 2 full sets of sockets at 90 each plus loads more. got a ratchet adapter for my cracker bar too. makes it so much easier to use.

Re: Suj's Stanced MK2 Ibiza GTI Dub :D (New Wheels On!! pg3)

only halfrauds tool ive owned was my grandads 1/2" ratchet that was 40 year old and still worked. but it was nowhere near as good as snapon.
