It should sit the same. There won't be much different. IMO, if you go lower than 40, your shooting yourself in the foot. Handling gets a bit pants.

It rides nice too. Thats on Spax adjustable dampers with spax springs. Not too tough, not too soft.

make sure you only want to go - 40 as alot of people do this and then opt for the -60 for that extra low look
eibach are ideal for handeling as i feel they where better on my car than the fk coilovers i now have
i would stay away from PI springs
if you want -40 spax springs are very good for the money
- 60 jamex seem like a good option

-40mm makes a difference compared to nothing. it's for people who are sensible

Well, I contacted my insurance company asking if a Thatcham Cat 1 alarm will lower my insurance, and they said no so I doubt they'll allow me to lower my car.
