mines lowered 40mm allround on 13's.looks mint,rear tyre sits nice under rear arch,but the front is a lil higher,but thats only coz the rear arch is more square than the front.

ur mate is right about 60mm front,40mm rear, coz this will make it look more even,even tho its not.

as far as been uneven 20mm difference is not much but if you go over 40mm on the front or rear u will need upgraded shocks,but this is just my 2 cents lol. :)
I'd rather push a Corsa,than drive anything else. : )
