Bollocks to your "mate" Only fools compete in such a fashion. To some, 60mm drop is "council", very uncomfortable to drive around in. Also with that sort of drop limiting the ability of the dampers, you will actualy reduce the quality of the handling.

If you really wanted to out do your mate, get a decent 40mm drop set up, some nice H&R ARB's, sparco strut brace, decent boots, zone chip, subtle stuff that isn't visual. Then out perfom him on a track or something. Obviously not on a public road as I couldn't condone that winkeye

Sorry rant over. Just seems a chronic waste of money to just out do "the joneses".

I'd be pi$$ed off no end if I had a mate like that. Certainly wouldn't be a mate I'd keep anyhoo.
