   why will it look stupid?
   
   in terms of saving money prob best to go all way first otherwise your dropping it twice at say £100 a go seem a bit of a waste of money. but 40mm will look fine. i;m dropping mine 40mm on 15s so it fills the arches a bit better

   It does look daft. yes.
   It can be done like that but I really would wait and do them both the same time ( or within a week of each other if you want the front springs to settle fully)

   if you lower the front in this weather you are a idiot, the car will be like a snow plow
