Everyone seems to be obsessed with lowering nowadays, I think it looks nice how it is and you dont wanna go making it impractical. I'm guessing its not a show car so imo leave the ride height where it is :afro:

You can be low and still be practicle. Mine is very low and I use it everyday as the family and work car. It's the only car we have and I have 5 kids. You just learn where not to go lol. 
The only problem I find is them stupid little speed ramps that you go over one wheel at a time.

Depends where you live I guess, I live in surrey/middlesex and there are a lot of speed bumps around here, also many car parks have those 1 way metal ramp things, I park in a multi-storey for work, and a lot of the time when out and about I have to park up a kerb. I'm only lowered 40mm and I manage to scrape my splitter a fair bit, any lower and I'd be buying a new one every week!

Saying that i think 40/60 looks good on rims like yours, but i would never do it as i hate a shocking ride in a daily car.
40mm all round on half decent coilovers is about right imo for looks and performance, this is with uprated rubbers and new mounts etc.
If you go low on old bits you will kill them in weeks and have a really bad ride and a few bills.

But whatever floats your boat its your money and your car, which is looking sweet by the way :smiley:

I like it. I'm not a huge fan of those lights in general or bonnet bras. otherwise looks nice. doesn't have to be slammed to be low.
