The ride quality will be crap tho. Even my -60mm kit annoys me at times.

Standard dampers won't last very long at that ride height.

If you just want to go low for looks, then remove your springs altogether.
For the damage you'll be doing to your dampers with -60mm springs, you might as well.

Forget the lowered springs, you need shortened dampers and good quality bumpstops.
