   i am thinkin of 50mm springs on the front and lower 50mm at the back but i dont want to change dampers so is 40mm at the front a good idea and 50mm at the back it is advised you go no lower than 45mm i think is it or shall i just go 50 all round?

   What's the actual question in it?
   
   If your going more than 40mm down, you should change shocks, unless current ones are in good condition.

   don't ever lower the back more then the front.it will effect the handling severely,always kep it the same or slightly higher at back imho.

   if i read it right your asking is ok to go down 45mm or standard dampers?
   
   I believe it is, think some people on here are down 50mm on standards and never had any problems, although i wouldnt recommend it, but thats in my opinion
   
   
   Edit : 50mm all round looks the best imo :

   just check the condition of the dampers first
