i'd suggest 120mm all round, Throw some old tyres on and rub the arches outwards.
Then put your proper tyres on and you should be fine and as low as possible.


Warning, you will only be able to rub the arches out @ approx 120mph for around 5 minutes.

enjoy

The back will generally sit higher up than the front as there is less weight there so id tend to drop the back a little more than the front.

Also what profile tires do you have on the slabs? I would recommend 40's before lowering it at all if you dont have them.

And if your going to lower the car more than -40mm all round id also strongly recommend coilover's or adjustables. Standard shocks wont be able to cope otherwise.

anything under 195s, you want a narrow tyre for clearance. I have 195s on my golf and clearance was a massive issue
