I'm lowered 60mm (Gmax kit) and 16's, no skirts tho. It dropped an even amout front and back and looks damn good in my opinion.
A guy in my street is lowered 60mm with 15's and full Combat kit.
It looks like a nightmare to drive. Only has about 1/2 inch clearance at the lowest bits!

Apex are notorious for not dropping as much as advertised though.

Think -40mm on 17's would be a better idea

Apex or Fk are possibly the best suspension kits about at the moment

16'S AND 60mm may cause problems , depending on the road conditions where you will be driving. As for the arch mods , if the wheels are the correct or a decent offset none will be required. I suggest using coilovers for your suspension.

Spoiler: There is various options , one being the PSG 2 Combat spoiler which can go on top of the GSI spoiler or directly onto the tailgate.

if you need any more info or help
