I'm down 60mm at the front and also get rubbing on full lock. Just be careful because I now have no wheel arch liners left on both sides

Mines down 40mm all round, handles perfect. get a geometry check aswell when you've lowered it. bcoz mine used too rub but that was bcoz my tracking was way out.
