Hi mate,when I first wanted to lower my sxi I wasn't to sure how low to do it,originally wanted 35mm but I went with 40mm and I think it sits sweet.But some other people might have different opinions so...

40mm is fine for daily use, 60mm if you have the right offset wheels and a decent kit. and dont mind hitting bumpstops every now an then, plus speed bumps etc

My mates got a corsa b sxi lowered 60mm, it looks much better than 40mm but it sits so low he can only get 3 people in then the wheels start to scrape the arches.
So my view on it is, if its purely for looks and you dont have that many people in your car, drop 60mm cos it looks the best, but if you wanna keep the practicality of the car drop it 40mm then when you have a couple of people it will drop to look sweet 8)

badges have been removed lol. well ive had a full car with the car lowered and they dnt rub atall( have the right off set well ET46) ive have no trouble with speedbumps tbh and my area is full off em lol. if you decide to lower you need the full kit dnt waste ya mney and buy just springs m8. shortend springs need shortend dampers. if you caught between 40&60 meet halfway and get 50mm springs :D
