This my E30
I think it's been lower'd 40mm, grips the road nice but everything i drive over i can feel and some roads are falling to bit round here, real bone shaking ride.
I just think it's very hard is that right + i don't think the 17's don't help much but there staying

Looks more like 60mm
This is my 60mm drop shortly after it had been done (prob settled a bit since pic was taken)

im on 60/40 and the ride is still reasonably smooth.
Depends on so much more than the drop, what suspension is on there? shocks can vary in stiffness.

Yes but thats probably more to do with my struts rather than my ride height..(or the Auto Trader girls at Santa Pod

)
I can run over a crisp packer and tell you what flavour it is (I really should stop telling that gag

)
I also have H&R anti roll bars which help, handling wise.

i've got 35 / 35 lowered with 17" wheels, and drivin is really hard, i can feel every lil' rock on the street, it's really a karting feeling, it's a KW sport suspension, bu the wheels really made a difference

its profile 40 and thats a big difference with my 195/65 14

205/40 17 is much harder, but the grip on the road is excellent, even when it rains my car won't slip if i drive normaly
