after chopping and changing through 3 sets of lowering spring mixing and matching i found that 60mm front 40mm back was the best, although realistically the back is probably about 30mm. much more enjoyable to drive rather than 60 front 70 rear like it used to be.

ok just as an update, i raised my car 28mm!! and with avo's still on hardest setting it rides nearly as well as a standard corsa, feels alot more responcive tho, loads less body roll than standard aswell! and the handeling has improved 100% also it still looks good,
not the best pic i know!

I think it looks just as good as it did lowered 70mm+, but the main thing is that now it should be better comfort and handleing

From the pic it looks like there's a lot more of an arch gap at the front than the rear.
While you're in the mood, I'd be tempted to lower the front about 15mm whilst raising the rear the same, shift more weight to the front and see how that affects handling and driveability.
