Lowering by 40mm=1.57''! too much?
 
Is lowering the X by 40mm=1.57'' too much ?! I ordered ''Hamann lowering kit'' 2 days ago,and when I saw ''KING''s car it looks really low (only 1.2'' lowered)

So what do you think guys !!? Hamann says that the kit lowers the car approx, by 40MM=1.57''

I have lots of pics in another thread which show the car in stock height, lowered 2.0" and then finally lowered with the 1.2" H&R springs.

The vehicle will always drop more than what they claim! I actually measured before and after installation. My car dropped 1.75" with the 1.2" springs. I would measure and take pics so you know how much it really dropped. So if you get 1.57" that's perfect; but if it really ends up being 2.0" then that's too much and you will bottom out on potholes! But it will handle like a race car!! I know 'cos I had it that low to begin with...;)
