hi guys, ive been chasing some coilovers for ahile and some have come up in my (limited!) budget. seller says the max they can go down is 40mm. i have a na8 with clapped out bilsteins and doing some quick measuring makes me think 40mm isnt going to get the look im after. i dont want hella flush or anything but id like the tyres somewhat close to the guards. anyone go 40mm and can share a picture? i have 15s with 195/50
thanks!
NA 40mm lower than stock. what will it look like?

Just had a look at my NA8 Clubman (with 15" wheels & Bilsteins still fitted) & gap between top of tyre & guard lip is similar, particularly comparing pics, but it looks a bit less by eye. Hopefully someone will have a pic showing 40mm lower than stock, but if not there might be one in here if you've not already had a look: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=33059

Possibly something like this...
I can't provide measurements however, as this was how my car was when I bought it 5 years ago. While it looks great, I've since changed to a more comfortable (and higher) suspension setup.
