Mines 50mm drop all round .. Perfect for me . Does catch now and again on major speed bumps ..

50mm is a little excessive, 30mm usually looks good and still rides OK without scraping, don't forget your wheel arch trim fills some of the gap out so you don't need to go as low as you think.

30 mm is the perfect drop. Looks purposeful and remains driveable too.

It also rubs the arch liners on full lock . 25/30 mm probably best. These boi's do speak from experience.. I just like sitting on the floor.. The sump is the target area(lowest point) so be wise.
