40mm using springs only ('Pi' springs about £100).
I recon it looks absolutely perfect sitting on 17's, just fills the arches perfectly, and personally I don't find the ride tooo harsh, (though the missus hates it, but that's girls for you!)

Depends how low the kit is really, wouldnt go more than 40 with any kit on otherwise it will get trashed.

what Dave said hun
get the kit sorted then look at lowering, as i said on msn a few days back, you could go down the eibach route, -30 mm springs and new kyb shocks and it will sit great and ride really well
mine is lowered 25 mm on a full spax kit (springs and shocks) it sits too high for me, personally i want it in the weeds really... but the ride is exactly what i like, i prefer the harsher ride, ive got an awful lot of feed back through the car to tell me whats happening when im pushing it and i can go that little bit further. with the hgt it was on eibachs and was nice and gentle, but comeing from patch it just wasnt good enough and didnt give enough feed back for me
Andy
Patch is staying for a bit longer... long live the HGT (well the memory anyway...)

See my pic above. Rieger rear, 17's and lowered 40mm.
Have a fair bit of ice in the boot and can take passengers. The front is the main prob for me as I struggle to get on a few driveways. Just gotta take the speedbumps slower than usual
