Advice on lowering with 15 inch wheels, non low prof tyres, and only 1.6 engine?

[Whimsa]

Want it to be a practicle driver but not sure what 60/40, 40/35 is all about, guess im asking which is lower as I want to go one of those routes without ruining ride confort on speed bumps ets.

It means 60mm front 40mm rear, or 40mm and 35mm. I personally wouldn't bother with 40 and 35 .....not gonna make any noticeable difference

As a rule of thumb the lower you go the worse the ride/handling is unless you spend more money on better quality suspension, if you want a good compromise go for shortened shocks and springs with a 60/40 drop but if you want to go lower than that you'll need coilovers which can be adjusted to go as low as 120 but be prepared for a very hard and bouncy ride unless you pay a lot of money for expensive ones.
