60mm springs is a good amount in my opinion.
Can still get everywhere and it's not crazy low.
Coilovers would be best suited if you plan on fiddling with the height though.

Darryl how does it sit when you have someone in the back, and reaches speedbump's etc.?
As I'm thinking of a Bilstein B10 kit, but that lowers 60/40, and I'm affraid that 60mm is just too much. Or else I'll have to go for a Weitec Ultra GT kit that drops 30/30, other then those, there's an option of getting some Bilstein's B4, and then get some springs to suit 40/40.
Would love the B10 kit, but not sure if 60mm drop won't be too much in the long run.
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread

Mine was fine mate, would come down to about 70-80 with 3 in the back. I'd say 60mm you should be alright on most roads. You might get the odd scrape on a speed bump but nothing major.
40mm doesn't really look much lower once you've got used to it. If you don't want to go 60mm go for 40mm nova springs.
They lower it just over 40-50. Looks good and gives you a bit more ground clearance than 60mm
