Hey guys. Springs that are supposed to lower 40mm (1,57inches) all around, plus drop hats that do 12,7mm (0.5inches) up front, would be usable for daily and street use? I have an IS lip by the way.

that drop should be fine, just be careful of the front lip, also get a sump guard if you can.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I daily my Touring which is lowered 40mm all round on Eibach springs and is fine over most speed bumps, I have the M-Tech 2 kit, some central London ones are a bit aggressive you just have to pick a different route or go slowly so you don't get caught out on the bounce.
