Show me tourings with different drops

Just about to buy some springs for the touring. Just can't decide what to do on the drop front.

The setup is going to be:

Bilstein B6 front dampers
Koni Sport rear dampers
Racing Dynamics ARB front & rear

Obviously the M50 donk up front.

Was thinking of a 40/40 drop but then spotted that they do 60/50 as well as 55/35.

Can you kind folks post some pics of your tourings and state what the drop is so I can decide. I'm torn between 40/40 and 55/35 to be honest. I fancy a bit of rake but this thing has to handle well and I do need to clear about 40 speed humps a day lol.
