your right about the engine being heavier because i still get some scrubbing at the front on my 1.6 sport and its only lowered 40mm on gmax kit, wheels are 16" and et 45, when i had it lowered 60mm it was barely driveable......My back is fine and could go 60mm+ i always thought that there was uppose to be more room at the front?

That's asking for trouble I'm afraid. Last time I gave my opinion I was banned for a day

Eibach 35mm springs.

There I said it. I await my punishment

Agree with Joff
H&R or Eibach+black billies for a confortable ride(-35 mm)
Koni if you want a hard,hard ride. My setup

I would go for the 40mm drop, will give your car the looks and the handling, where as the 60mm will only give you the looks and sum scary handling

Best springs =H&R or Eibach
best dampers Bilstein, Koni
Best coilovers =KW

The Koni Kit if it's an original one has Vogtland springs which are softer than Eibach ones
