Boo, should have gone for the 40 profiles and then dropped it lower ;)

Will be looking good then mate, look forward to seeing the pictures. Make sure you drop it on its ass though, the stance of the car will make or break the look - Mine needed to go lower, but I had a slight problem due to the offset I ran with my adapters for the teledials.

Nice to see you are getting it sorted

The guy at the tyre place insisted 45's lol and being the pushover i am i just went with it. They were cheaper anyway lol. What do you suggest ollie about 60-65mm all round? i measured the ride height and it is currently at 64 cm front and back.

Well its hard to set them up really untill you get them on the car, and you need to remember they always settle a bit more once you have driven on them for a short time. Well I'd say that 50-60 should be ok initially, then let it settle and then drop it a little more!
I think mine could have gone down to about 70/60 and would have looked spot on - Depends on how you get on with a lowered car, might find that more than 50/60 drop wont be practical enough for you- will have to slow down for speed bumps!!!!

Ha just don't make it look better than mine, or you'll give me even more reason to sell the dials and get hold of some bbs splits!!

Telford ay it...
You dont set out with measurments in mind when winding down collies, you take them down as you please and then you take a picture with a reference item to show how close your subframe is to the ground :p

.....but all in all be sensible ;)
