that 40 or 60? or 40front and 60 rear?

had 60mm all round but was too low, then after smashing the downpipe and getting a 4.1 it was even worse. so i'v got 30mm fronts now, feels good but reminds me when i had my old b on standard springs, like its on stilts, dunno if i just got used to bein on the ground or not

60f/40r handles great too.

60f/60r if you prefer what the car looks like compared to what it rides & handles like.

60mm I would say looks better, but for track 40 is fine! All good springs are 40!

60F 90R was my favourite, handled really well and looked good.

My XE lowerd 40F 60R handled well also.

Had mine 60 front 40 rear for a bit but didn't like the look of it and the splitter scraped when getting on/off the drive

Not really because if you have the proper sized tyres then the overall diameter is about the same.

Oh yeah, mine caught on the flexible exhaust bit for a while, then it kind of dented the gauze so it stopped catching

Mines supposed to be 60mm all round, but as IVIarkgraham pointed out to me the other day, it looks 80mm front, and now my car is in the garage having a whole new sump due to speed bumps, plus my 4-1 manifold is flat on the downpipe bit, and my airdam has been ripped off twice, is cracked again and no paint on the under of it from scrapping on the road. So i'd say 60 all round, no lower.
