mines 60 front and 40 rear and it's very manageable on 17s. Personally i don't want it any lower at the back otherwise the subframe will be too low for rolling roads

Well, I decided to go for a 60/40 split. Bought an FK suspension kit for £250. Hopefully fitted next week. Try and get some pics on here.

It'd be a good idea to buy a new top mount kit too to have changed at the same time as having your suspension fitted mate
