60/60 bad call for a few reasons.... 80/80 just madness
Sump will be intimate with even the smallest speed bump !
Too low, will scrub inners on full lock , plus extreme neg camber on rear wheels, no good for handling or tyre life.
with 17" wheels with the correct offset the car will be spot on with 35/35 IMHO, you can tweak another 10mm out of the front with thinner spring pads( dealers !)
iirc Wilson325i had the lowest for a while, should be pix here somewhere.

Check out Rav335uk's for sale thread, got some 16" BBS Splits...unmol wrote:. might just have to get some 16's (bbs splits)
this tells you all you needd to know. Now decide whether you want a car to look at or one to drive.maz1 wrote:was on 17 inch alpina replicas now on 15 inch bbs... I have covered less than 3000miles on the kit and i'm seriously looking to go back to standard or near standard setup. It does however look good with the 60/40 drop!!!
