Do it m8. i ain't sure on the technicalities of it, but could go down 10-15mm and look better.
Don't wanna smash yer bumper up again tho

I have 18's on mine mate and it is dropped about 75mm at the front, Just keep cutting till it dont rub, Trim the metal under the arch all the way as far as you can go, then you will need to slightly alter the shape of the arch so it dosn't catch.
Definately worth the hassle my car is slammed on 18's 
Without wide arches

it will cause more hassle than its worth,
bring it to Andys garage and we'll take the angle grinder to your bottom coil

Dude, i know u can lower it more. Bloke had a white 1.4 Sport (talking Hemel 1+2, like 2+ years ago) which was -85mm and -90mm on the rear, had 16" speedline allesios on it. Was too low for me.
So what is it, is it a van or a car again? I think u should leave it as a van, looks much better

i can get springs done by place in chesterfield
cant do back as id need EVEN SHORTER dampers too so springs dont fall out!!
if i can get another 25mm on front id be pleased -
des - could change kit, but im happy as it is only thing is my front bumper sits SOOOOO hi up
tempted to shot 85 - 90 springs on front and cutting it till it dont scrap as grigglet said

Save up and get coilovers mate, then you can have 60mm on the back which come with shorter dampers and then have the front as low or high as you want to

Fair comment mate, want to get mine lower too, back is not a problem its just getting full lock on the front, dont like wide arches either so i am not putting them on it, personally think it is more impressive getting bigger wheels slammed on standard arches
