Gotta be 60mm , at least if your lowering. Otherwise not worth it.

oo 90 is too much lol. i've got a splitter as well so don't want it too low.I had 40 drop on my 6n and it handled great but there still was a gap from the arch to alloy.

Not sure how low i am, but very low. Can get over nearlly all speed bumps but there are the odd couple i have to avoid.

Mine are weitecs, cost £500. Havent had a problem with them at all. Very good
