50mm is not too low at all, i would be looking to go abit lower 60mm-70mm. iv got the same car as you and bin looking to get some AP coilovers but my car is still under warranty and if i do get some fitted it would void the warranty. so am going to wait another year till it has ran out and then get some

I've got mine 50mm lower and TBH it's needs slamming way more, tho only that puts me off is the fact that you can't change the camber.

The lower you go the more camber you gain, basically you end up rubbing the inner edges off the tyres in next to no time

So do your tyres wear quicker now it is dropped 50mm???

you'd only void the warranty on suspension items.. and if the dealers are in need of work... they wont batter an eyelid... i know ford didnt when i took my car in which was lowered and bigger wheels on, and it went in for the lower arm bushes replaced lol



another note, i also thought of dropping it 50mm.. although it seems that isnt enough

im thinking 60 mm at least

Coilovers are the best bet - KW's... drop 70mm-80mm.

Mine was 70mm on FK's
