already lowered 60mm, an engine in the back might scrub quite a bit. Not talking from experience though, and to be fair, i could have a car full on my 15s lowered 60mm with no scraping. hhhmmm...pointless post by me!

The 16v engines weigh around 100kg, which isn't even the weight of two people.

it will also still fit with the top-end attached. would be best to remove manifolds incase it rolls so not damaging anything.
engine&box in the back will weigh less than 3 passengers & ice...
i was lowered 60mm on 15's and never had scrubbage with 3 people in the back, but may differ depending on your wheels/drop
