Any recomendations for how low to lower the car? 30mm or 50-60 mm? I dont want any scraping issues and am planning on getting some 18" rims in the future aswell as a TBE very soon.

Also with purchasing a exhaust from Dylan, take it he doesnt install? How much would you all estimate an installation will cost at a workshop, and where is best to go?

Thanks

Welcome steenler, piggy ftw

My car has been lowered around 20-30mm (previous owner installed king super lows) compared to stock.

IMO that is a very good height from a clearance point of view . Also as your are planning on doing 18" wheels, the arches will be filled and the stance will be good.

Here is how mine looks lowered + front lip + 18's



In terms of scraping the front (speaking from when mine did not have a front lip) you can still scrape it on sh*thouse or steep driveways (just limits where you can park is all, no biggie though)

I have a front lip on mine now but I haven't scraped on any normal driveways/entrances....yet

Cant really help you with exhaust installation cost as I just dont know too much there.

Anyways enjoy the car and the forums

-Shane.
