i kinda had that 50mm front 40mm rear but my 50mm springs went down like 60mm tho
was 40mm front before but since i have 1.2 8v engine is light so front dint lower as much 
i liked it looked the way i wanted.
but now back to 40mm
coz i uprated my shocks
they were shortened ones tho makin it lower so arch sat on me tyre

any coz theyr shortened sport springs so they move less than standard shocks when u go over a bump.
jus try them on first n see if they scrub

60 40 makes the car look level, i have an apex 60mm spring kit which is more like 60f 30-40r, but the arch gap is the same front and back 
i prefere it like this than having the back dumped like it used to be.

cool might go for it myself then 
it looks really good judging bu the pic kris posted.
the only thing i hate is if its too stiff, like when you hit a bump you feel it in your spine, i like it stiff, but with a bit of give if you get me...
