a quick forum search would bring loads of info up mate.
There are MANY threads.
-2 in is comfortable. 2nd gear low revs for speedbumps. Avoid potholes, but hitting one is not the end of the world.
-3 is rather hardcore for a daily. Expect sump and gearbox, if not exhaust grounding too. Not only on bumps, but on dips and heavy loading too mate.
Depends what youre doing really.
I'd say -2in.
Most people are down that amount on here.
15in rims to fill the gaps. But 13s look good on a higher profile tyre.
Search magnumpis's ' praise the lowered ' thread.
Everythings legal, you dont need extra bushes..
