Personally I'm going to go -30. Then when I get drop links or a uprater arb I'm going to go -40. And this is my only car so a daily driver.

my dailys lowered 40mm all round and it rubs on multistorys and some speed bumps, only on 15s though and the front splitter is quite a bit lower than the rest of the car. I'm hoping 16s will be the answer
