Mine's about 65mm drop on coilies, never had a problem with it.
Previous 206 was lowered to about 50mm, but had a front splitter which was forever getting caught on humps & kerbs

I'm lowered via the click method (apparently this is around 60mm) on standard shocks but with some additional weight the back sits a lot lower.

My biggest issues are table tops and humps (but I like holding everyone up for some bizarre reason) and more annoyingly dips in the road cause a bit of arch rubbing at speed.

I do a lot of motorway driving, and my route contains a few dips like this.

I'm getting lowered on coils next month..all the above problems like scraping and crawling over bumps got me worried about doing it at first but my car sits like a tractor at the moment. Europug I saw your car at Trax and it pretty much summed up the reason for doing it..absolute stance perfection. Not to mention the lack of body roll through corners which should equal big :D's.
