cheers, mine at the mo is about 55 on front (60mm springs) and about 75 on rear (but 60mm springs) i want them cos the rear springs come out wen u jack it up, even with shortend shocks, and also i want the front dumped

no arch work on front, dont catch anywhere, rear has had a bit of archwork, catches on big bumps

i take it rear springs r same?

dont buy avos m8y. i have them. theyre good enuff quality etc. well one of mine burst but they replaced it.(fair play) the fronts down as low as theyll go (80mm mmm?)and its not any lower than my old 60 springs. also tyre choice is crucial coz alot of tyres make contact with the strut. i mean design of tyre not size u know. 205/40/17. alot are actually wider than others. u need to be careful. rears r just shoxs and low springs/ far lower than the old 60mm springs. i wanna go lower, thinkin about gettin custom springs made for the coilvers. or gettin angle grinder out.lol

PSG wide kit. Cars in primer at the moment, i get it back this weekend hopefully. I had to get ET35 as the wheels didnt come in anything higher.

I did have them on before(not lowered front) and got full lock and no rubbing.

The back however, sat 30mm lower due to ice, and being a 'sport' sits lower than other models(except GSi). It ripped the plastic inner arch at first, but after the first 20 miles or so only rubbed on bumps in the road.
