Don't get it too low, or the scrapman won't be able to tow it on to his truck :twisted:

Seriously, the 17" reps (especially BK ones) will make your car awful to drive. But if you're commited, a 60/40 drop is the absolute maximum.

think 17 rep alpinas are like marmite.
why is it so many people say ride is crap and the other half say they are great.

I know 16 is the way to go

The half that claim it's great are desperately trying to justify the wasted expense to themselves.
