I've lowered the S'back 3inches, 3 notches front, 2 notches rear. I still uses the
stock Type3 shocks, seems to be no problem.

I run stock size both summer and winter, but has used 5,5x15 wheels with 185/70-15
tyres too. The left front rubs a bit in the well, because of a part of the spindle
that acts as a wheel turn stop, is worn. The tires do not rub the fenders on my car.
