How low have people gone on 17" wheels? and what suspension have you got? and did you need any arch mods?

I've got 17's and am lowered by 60mm but it isnt really enough, and I would like to go lower.

Just 30mm. Low enough to look good but not cause major trouble with speed humps and can also get up my drive too which I doubt I could if it were lower
