You'll have to drop the rear as well or it'll look silly, -40mm gets rid of some arch gap and looks good..-60mm is better but you'll need shortened shocks.....mines down -85mm front/-80mm rear.. :smiley:

nice, tbh mines already lowered at the front...alot not sure how much coz only had car a month and it came tht way but i live in an area with alot of speed bumps and i just cnt bear ripping front end off.
and the back isnt lwoered at all i dont think but one of springs is snapped so i thought best change and lower at same time

You won't rip the front off unless you've got a VR deep spoiler which can cause problems, tbh the most vulnerable thing on low mk3's is the sump.
