    Mine. Meant to be a 40mm drop, but I'm not so sure - more like 60mm I'd say.

    i want to get away from standard due to being too soft at the front.

    i have either incorrect or dead boge turbos on the front and gmax on the rear. i think the springs are standard.

    i dont care about ride height too much, i want dampers.

    even thinking about going to adjustable dampers so i can play with it

    For all you peeps running low, dont you get any tyre/arch rub? I kept having to raise the front end as I ended up gorging through a tyre round the track. It doesn't sit high, but its not as low as it could be. Tyres are 195/55/15's.

    I'm thinking that with 195/45's, I can get some camber on and get the height back down, thoughts?

    mine's standard for a mk2 driver. i have higher profile wheels on the rear (got them like that) which tilts the front forward gives it a bit more of a hotrod look which i like. scared to lower it because of the nasty insurance companies.

    nope, nothing - the RA's with 195/50's never, and the 7.5" wide RM's with 195/45's don't ever rub either.
