Cheers for comments guys,    to be honest as far a drop goes, i told my mate around 35- 400 mm, as my drive is steep,  but to me its not about set measurements its about winding them down sitting her on the wheels and seeing what you think,   we both agreed going down firstly to the point you can just put your fingers between the tyre and arch,  then see how its settles in a week or two, and then adjust! 

Am happy with it, been working today but will clean her later and get some pics up! 

Love the drop though..... and when your driving it feels so much lower and tighter through the bends
