I'm on 16's with 195/45/16 tyres and some Raceland coilovers which I think adjust down to 100mm. The adjusters are out of the back and it doesn't sit low enough. Still a about a 1cm arch gap above the tyre. Think I'm going to have to get some custom rear springs to get rid of the arch gap.
My car also sits lower than my brothers 9n. He's got 17's and no rear arch gap

will the ride on 16's not be worse as you'll have to go lower if you don't want any arch gap. Meaning the springs/shocks will be compressed more giving less room for movement and therefore giving a harsh ride?
