do 45mm rear and 35-40 front, this looks good and handles well, that is how mine is lowered at the moment

i tried various different combos of shocks and springs and from my experience the best handling is an apex 60mm spring kit which is actually more like 60mm front 30mm rear. i had the back down 60mm with some oter springs and it jumped all over the place, this is defo my best combo, thats with apex rear shocks and koni yellow fronts.

oh yeah -60 at the back the brakes were crap, the rears kept locking up and i couldnt adjust the brake bias valve anymore as it already was at its maximum.
