   Yes, i agree with aksaxovtr. i had mine lowered 40mm and that look awesome, had no problems with speed ramps or anything.

   perfect set up wud be: 50mm front and 45mm on the rear. this shud help with keeping grip on the rear, iv heard to many horror stories of ppl losing their backends on tight bends haha

   well seeing as the rear looks a tad higher than the front as standard, you might notice it more. just my personal preference
