They may advertise to go that low dude but trust me they wont. you can go all the way at the back then about 50-60mm on the front, but be prepared to replace your front tyres every 4000 miles due to the camber. Also try and keep them as clean as possible as quite a few people have had issues with rust as they arent stainless steel.

Coilovers and eibach top mounts are a good combo, the handeling coilovers give you will amaze you! I'd defo get coilies over springs. If set up right the tyres would last longer its just mine is set up for track use and to get the best handeling possible it needs camber

if it dont scuff the ruff, it aint low enuff!
got the astra lowered 80mm and its fine, it catches quite often but as long as your carefull it shouldnt be too bad.
if its so low you cant get over speed bumps its just silly
