On -40mm Koni springs and Bilstein b4 shocks. Front sits perfect but the back is still too high imo.

Apparently standard shocks will wear out very quick with this kind of drop, im sure someone else will make this comment as well

Looks nice but coilovers are the best way to 'tune' the height imo

I'll be getting coil overs for mine at some point. Going for -40mm front & -50mm back.
Was advised to get coil overs from the start & really wish I'd listened
