how do some people drive there cars around with it being lowered so much at the front this is a picture of my car lowered about 60mm on the front when i first put the suspension on it had it raise it due to tyre hitting the arch. i couldnt get out of my drive when i tryed reversing out as it the tyre was touching the arch.
you can see how close it is with -60mm

this is my car lowered and i think it looks better than going any lower, also my exhaust and centre section used to hit a few speedbumps at this height never mind any lower

you could have gone lower if you had 195/40 profile tyres..
only thing stops you from going loww is tyres/wheel offset/exhaust..

im not too keen when you cannot see any of the tyre on the rear at the top to me thats a bit silly but if the arch is just over the top if the tyre of even halfway down the tyre i think it looks perfect.

In that case I think the -60mm springs will be perfect for what you want mate As you have 45 profile tyres they fill the arch more than 40's so in my opinion you dont need to go as low to get it looking nice

looks silly above because the front is high, if the front was lower then i think it would look nice
