Hey guys,I just put 20's on my roadster and I'm interesting on lowering the car, How low can I go without doing any damage to the car or the wheels?

I went with the Hotchkis Sport Springs which dropped my car about an inch. I think the drop is perfect even with a kit on & I'm not scraping up everywhere. You can see pics by clicking on the "More Pics" link in my sig.
BTW...I'm running 20x9(F) + 20x10(R) with 255/35(F) + 285/30(R). Not sure what the offsets are since they were spec'd out by the Mfg.

Offset is what is important here. I have 275/35 rears and I had to roll my fenders because of my +20 offset with 9.5 wheels. 255/35 up front on 8.5's with a +15 offset rubbed on large bumps, but slight modification of the plastic wheel well took care of that. Depending on offset, you shold be able to drop about 1" to 1.2".

I love the shaved look. How much did they charge you to do that? Thats exactly what I want to go. And take out the grille to expose the intercooler. HOTNESS. What happened to your center caps? Are the handles painted? Dude you gotta get a digi cam and take new pics. I wanna see that car in better quality.

Yea I'm working on the cam. I lost a center cap on the highway so I took em all off. Shave cost me next to nothing, a buddy did the job for me and yea i painted the door handles, I couldnt stand the brushed look, reminded me of a fridge door every time i looked at it. The car is debadged, no letters anywhere, no badges, nothing. and black door handles, I find that really made a difference
