Depends on wheel sizes too

HQ stubs will drop the car 1-2"

Lowered springs will drop it depending on brand and how low you specify

Out with the tape measure mate

Hi mate
Just went through this. Had 1.5 inch lowered springs in with 225/50 15's. She sat very low and looked great, but was right on the gaurds and would have caught the eyes of the boys in blue no dought.
Ended up buying some standard springs, good luck getting them in, but they sat too high, so got them re squashed another 15mm and it sits nice. I probably would have liked it a little bit lower , but I think the height it sits now is legal looking ish!
As datto said, out with the tape. Takes a few oes to get it right.
Cheers Dan

Don't forget about the front spoiler if you have/are going to fit one.

Driveways and speedbumps etc can start becoming hassles.

No. This is HX tonner stubs (same height as other HQ-WB) plus 65mm lowered springs. Still legal with just over 100mm clearance at lowest point under car.
