Definitely! Right there with you - to that effect this is as low as you can go with properly fitted tyres.

To help you out here is a pic and the vital numbers,

REAR
-3 degrees of camber
10J with 265
ET32

FRONT
-1.5 degrees of camber
8.5J with 225
ET47

You'll need rolled flat lips. Use a heat gun if your doing it with paint in situ. This is as aggressive as you can get. Any less ET & camber and you'll be rubbing arches. Any lower ET or ride height and you're rubbing. The ride height is well below RS. No bump steer or skipping to write home about. You won't need camber plates for these figures. To warn you though this is a very aggressive fitment and the camber is suited to track. Running KWV3s with H&R anti roll bars.

Thanks! I have no idea how low it is - I just kept going until I reached as low as one could get, with the most aggressive fitment, with track geo before it would rub. This setup manages track stresses with no rubbing.

Any lower than this and you'd be looking at stretched tyres/ the dub dub look which is I guess not what you're after since you said:

If you like I'd be more than happy to take measurements for you - need to do it at some point for the file anyway.
