With 60mm your tyres will sit on a larger angle than standard. This gives less tyre on the road. Hence less grip unless sorting the camber. Personally, I think 60mm is too low.
I think 40mm on a Bilstein kit and you'll be laffin.

Bilstein are the best fixed rate kits without a doubt.
their new B12 kit comes with -40mm H&R springs which are also exellent.

The Spax RSX coilovers go to -60 do they not?
