go 40mm mate, trust me.
i have the same kit and 17" and have major problems.
i'm also down 60mm and its too low.
fed up of playing with my archs.
look in my garage mate if you want any pictures.
go for 40mm, thats from experience.

all depends on you ££££
and if your doing shocks and springs or just springs.
my advice is do the lot, shocks and springs.

i'll do a bit of research, seen these for sale:
spax adjustable dampers (28 positions from soft to hard)
- 40 mm lowering springs
what dya recon? wud these do the same job or would i need shocks 2? (sorry if that seems like a stupid question but i know next to nothing about suspension)

dampers are shox, so the spax kit your talking about has springs and shox, you can just how hard the shox are and adjust rebound etc, i would get Koni or Bilstein as mentioned above, maybe even some FK coilovers then it can be as low as ou need
