Mine has -90mm springs in the back and is wound down about 70-80mm at the front, but because of my arches being mounted slightly higher than standard ones it doesn't look lowered as much

Not sure how low my old one was but at one point I noticed when I parked next to my sisters standard 'B' mine would drive under the mirror on hers.

I had Cavvy wheels on mine, had a full car too and no rubbing. Down on 60mm nova springs so slightly lower than 60.
Havn't got any pics of my maroon 5 door now cause premium membership ran out.
