60/40 will definately bed in a lot more.
I'm running the same springs on Bilsteins and have 16's - my arches are right on the tyres and when braking... are.

I've also got an FK 60/40 split kit (The High Tec version) and I wish I'd gone for the 60/60 as the back doesn't lower any where near as much as 40mm

Here's what it lowered mine by...

No from FK, but they also do a "Super" kit with an adjustable platform like the coilovers.

yes that super kit tempted me for a while but the coilovers won in the end.
