    Need help: Lowering the car

    Its Hard to Find Adjustable Suspension for 3gee in my country ..and i m interested to lower my car ...so there are some wrong ways to do like cut the springs or put some other car springs ..but my mechanic says its not possible cause i have 15" tires (205/60) and if he lower the car that suspension rod will touch the tire.....
    i have seen other cars they dont have that unique rod type suspension ...some ppl says its wishbone suspension or independent suspension ...
    so is there any way to lower my 3gee ?

    Nothing hits, you can slam your car to the ground with no suspension components hitting anything. You'll scrape a lot, but that's it.

    Thats the knuckle. The wheel travels with the knuckle. There is absolutely no way the wheel can touch the knuckle.

    205/60/15 is too big of a tire.

    It will most likely rub on the body.
