I had Leda suspension fitted to my first ZS180. It was lowered by around 40mm initially, but I raised it up by about 5mm due to rubbing. I was still getting some rubbing on the rear wheel arches, but this was due to having wider wheels with a smaller offset. The wheel arches really ought to have been flared a bit for the set up that I had.

I had the spax coilovers on my mk1 back in the day and lowered it quite low. Experienced no rubbing and had 17" wheels with the standard size tyres.
