ok so im goign to lower my 2 after christmas, just not sure if i should do a 30mm drop or a 40mm drop, after reading many forums they all say pretty much same thing, don't go over 40mm on stock dampers because ill need shortened sports dampers for anything more than 40mm lol, so erm yea your thoughts would be very helpful guys

Mine is lowered 30mm with the Mazda "lowering kit". Apparently the springs were made by Eibach. The drop is sufficient to improve handling (a bit) and to reduce the gap above the wheels.

I've dropped 40mm on static FK springs and you can only see the difference alongside another 2. However you certainly can feel the difference!

And thumbs up, North East England!
