Lowering...?

[Twerlie]

HI all,
I have a 96 4.0 Chimaera and im getting some 17" Alloys soon for my little Blue Baby! I would like to replace the shocks for some Avo ride and hight adjustables, but was wondering how low i could go without imparing the handling or rubbing in the arches!
I suppose a bit of trial and error will be in order but i just wondered if anyone had past experience?
Thanks
Ross

P.S. I have just managed to put a pic on my profile if anyone wanted a look...

Ok, you have all convinced me not to lower the car, BUT i am gonna get the 17's because i want the car to be different. Im seeing more and more TVR's around where i live and i want mine to be different.....theres no harm in that is there!!! Anyway, the car is a factory made kit-car made up from other cars so changing the wheels is hardly gonna spoil the look. I have chosen the wheels very carefully to keep in the style and year of the car! They are 5 spoke Fox FP6's in Titanium!

Thanks for all your advice

Ross.

I dont know why you people get so uptight when people mention that the car is like a kit-car and is made from loads of other cars...! I LOVE the TVR and i always have, i know alot about the car, its history and how it works.
Im not a typical Essex boy who just wants to change the apperance of the car, i just want some induviduality.

Thanks,
I will definatyl be getting some nice 17's. But the question now is to fit so3's or Toyo's? I feel that the Toyos will be a better ride? But the so3's might handle better?
Any thoughts?
