40mm drop is the normal amount that people go, because that will not scrub the tyres, but if you want to go lower you might have a couple of issues with scrubbing but that would be say 60mm,

depends what the offset of ur wheels is m8 - if they are 42 - 49 u can go as low as u want as they will just simply slide into the arches. Most of the time only vauxhall wheels have this kind of offset. If not then yeh 40mm is really the lowest u can go if u still want rear passengers :)

40mm on alloys with on offset of 45-49et

60mm on alloys with on offset of 49et (you will find very few alloys with an offset of 49 mainly vauxhall)

although you can go as low as 80mm. but its not gona be a smooth ride :lol:
