   Don't worry mate mine's down 60mm,
   Personally Gibbo's looks smart at 50,
   If anything i'd say go 40mm looks nice and it'll keep your driveshafts intact.

    I yes for the back because it's hard to give the front the nose down look, with anything lower then 60mm at the rear.

    Thanks for all the reply guys! Mines lowered 35mm at the front only. Will be lowering the back on Wednesday and lowering the front even more when i get the springs.
    
    
    
    I'm thinking of going 55mm at the back and 50mm at the front?

    Yeah 55 rear and 50 front should be about level, as i think the rear is slightly higher anyway.

    I'd go with 50mm all around if I was you, Mine is that low and the zorst still rubs on speed bumps and everyfuckingthing in the car squeaks which is annoying
