Fronts can go quite low, but the rears don't go very low due to independant rears.
I've got FK Highsports fronts are nearly all the way down, rears are all the way down on 16s

I believe KW Variant 2's?!? go lower than FK's. Nevertheless still recommend the FK's for ride comfort!

around 550 euros I believe. Which is a bloody good price, a local place quoted me $3700AUD or around 1400 UK Pound for a set of coilovers (nothing fancy either)

How low can you go with the 9n on 17's without problems? archwork?

i'd say 40/45mil max on 17s at the front and probably 50/55 on the back
i was down 40 and there was still room

i was thinking u could get at least 70/70 im already 50 at the front and looks like there's room for another 20mm n back is 35mm but looks like could get that again.

well then just adjust the coilovers to the height that you feel is best. abit of trial and error

when i had 17s on the ibiza, i was 40 at the front and 60 at the rear, both ends scrubbed, the front more so! mind u, they were 8.5J all round and were right out to the edge of the arch!
i took them off after 5 days as they scrubbed too much and were impractical for everyday use, and eventually, i thought they didn't look good on my car!
