   I would say 40mm is a good drop if ya go to 50-60mm drop the ride starts to get a bit harsh my personal opinion and depends what size wheels ya have on

   40mm on the front 50mm on the back is the best IMO

   You dont wanna be goin to low, you will be like my mate getting stuck on the ramps in the multi storey car park, once of my m8s had to get out and push he was actually rockin at the top of the ramp haha. He said he had the back lowerd at 100mm but i thought that was bs was probs 80mm this is it.

    i've been lowered for five years now 60mm on the front using pi springs and 80mm on the back and yea you have to slow down for speed bumps but you should anyway in a lowered car
    
    just make sure your exhaust is nicley tucked up out the way

    i used to have mine lowered 35/40, wasnt low enough and started to get bored so its now 60/70. bit more of a stiffer ride but i dont mind that. do mostly town driving anyway. lower the better imo, all depends how slow you take the bump. i rarely catch tbh
