That looks epic like that, but sadly it's just a fact you can't get these "properly" low as the floor/chassis design just doesn't cater for it like a lot of cars, i.e Golfs, Chevettes etc. I reckon if you are genuinely going to tub the arches and moddify the leafs surely you are going to need to raise the floor aswell

Thanks!
was thinking of getting rid of the air channels for th CVT cooling first by cutting them out and welding in a 3mm plate or something thatll get an extra inch i hope then go from there, basically whatever gets in the way goes

Spot on, i got a Chevette/Kadett C as its called here in Norway, it has the same clearance to the ground as my blue one and that still needed to go down some cm, but the Kadett i decking the same rim/tire combo...

You need to seriusly modify the exhaust on the 360 to get it low enogh, maybe build a exhust tunnel, as there is limited space, side exhaust is not a option, I had it on the red one and it was just silly

But I recon 14`s or 15`s are the best on 360, here`s mine with 15x8 et0:

^ Sir, why did you sell that car!!!????

It's a shame though as your blue Gl is the bested stanced 300 there is/was IMO, it just works so well. Helped by the fact that the base car looks so clean and tidy in the first place

My mates Chevette was ridiculously low compared to my 300 but drove so much better without all the bashing and crashing through potholes (sadly unavoidable in the UK due to the sheer number of them ) and yet still retained a comfortable ride, where as 300's antequated cart springs do it no favours.

Just a quick Q, that last pic have you pulled the inside lip outwards, or just rolled it in a heath robinson manner
