Best would be coil overs but not the cheapest. VC should be able to advice well here.

Im going to compress my springs soon. I want it as low as possible in the front.
Im riding on 18's at the mo.
Do you think I can slam it 50mm in the front without it rubbing anything?
Im thinking 50mm-fr and 40mmrear.
or should I be safe and do a 40mmfr and 30mmrear?
