There are a number of people who reckon the handling of the car improved on the lowered springs and isn't too harsh. I lowered my last Peugeot 45mm on all corners and the handling was much better and wasn't too harsh, the only time you really noticed was when going over a pothole or speed bump too fast. It all depends on how soft or hard you like your rides to be.

There's about 45mm-55mm gap between top of tyre and outside body wheel arch, so lowering it a further 30mm from stock SRI springs still leaves a gap (as seen in images above) so no scrapes.
