I have lowered my TD with Gmax kit -35mm, it has dropped the front around 45mm and the rear 35mm. probably the extra weight of the engine has caused the front to be a bit lower.

its a standard front bumper with rgm splitter.
think its cos im using sri springs so they must be softer and its letting it sit lower than 60mm, front wheels are inside the archs.

oh, first thing to improve handling on a td would be too fit an antirole bar, paid 35 quid for mine, came off a sport. makes more difference than lowering it.
got some adjustable koni shocks now, defo recommend them, it has unbelievable grip, havent managed under steer in the dry yet.
