   Hiya Steven, Welcome to the site.
   
   40mm on 15/16's full shocks and prings would look good, handle great ! Also depends on how low a bodykit you have/will be getting. And also consider speedbumps in your area aswell

   Welcome to the site mate!
   
   As Alex said 40mm will be the best all rounder in looks and still leaving enough space for bumps!
   
   Alex he lives in London so there will be speed bumps galore..... I get scared of mine going over some of them round my area and mine isn't lowered!!!!
