if you wait till you get roll bars then you cant fit the coilovers......you will scrub the tyres in a few 00 miles....fitting arbs will not change your geo settings fit the coil overs get the geo done then fit the arbs...

Mine is lowered about that and I had around 2 degrees neg camber on the rears with the adjusters maxed out.
Around 50mm is as low as you can drop and still recover the geo to something sensible. Did this with Tony a few years back when we dropped mine in stages and measured/recovered at each stage.

James S I am going to have a good read up on this before saturday. I don't understand it to be honest. Think 50mm is where I want to be, but shall see at weekend. Cheers
When you lower the car it introduces "negative camber", the wheels go out at the bottom and in at the top in most cases. It is the same as having a heavy load in the car compressing the springs.
Too much camber reduces the contact patch between the tyre and road and will give excessive wear on the inner side of the tyre tread cos the wear is concentrated on a smaller area. It can also reduce grip because of the smaller contact area.
Some neg camber is good on the rears as the outside tyre is pressed flat on the road due to cornering forces and body roll, this is where you want the grip. Generally a little less neg camber is needed on the fronts as the forces are not as great and so that effect of pressing the tyre flat on the road is less.
As with most things its a compromise between tyre wear, grip and looks. You can just slam it to look good and not worry about wear or grip it's up to the individual.
Hope that helps mate
