Eddy unless yours is on 45 profiles thats no way 60mm - more like 40.

Handling and grip are two different things and you are also going to remove a lot of suspension travel. Guess it depends what it is going to be used for. Mine is a tad too low on the front at the moment, but that can be easily sorted out. Was lowered 20mm on the rear but its also on 16s.

Mine is terrible with speed bumps due to my front exhaust manifold hitting all the time. It was fine on the 2L at that height (pictured above).

Sorry to hijack this thread, and for resurrecting it. But I'm considering lowering the car. But the big question is always: 60mm or 40mm. Has anyone got pics (Pref close up of the arch, and a semi-distance shot of the whole) at both those heights so I can decide once and for all?

Also, I'm hoping to return the car to standard when it's time to sell, I'm presuming coilies/springs/whatever can be returned to normal after being fitted? cheers!
