Pedders springs
Discussion
I've got pedders super low springs at the front and pedders low springs at the rear. Pedders shocks, haven't gone to coilovers as since replacing the seats the ride is firm enough already.
I wanted a slight 'rake' hence going for super low at the front. It's a significant drop that really sorts out the car's appearance, I've not had any problems with speed bumps etc. but I am wary of them. I have AAS mid-length headers, so they don't stick out the bottom.
I have managed to scrape the chin on a pavement when parking though, I didn't realise there was a pavement and swung the nose in. That was painful reversing off

I've been thinking that low at the back and super low at the front would be the perfect drop but haven't seen anyone done it before. Have you got pics or your car?
It is about right I think, personally I like an even amount of arch gap around the wheel, I don't like it when it's so low the top of the wheel is tucked up but then the arch sort of spreads out and there's a big gap around the front and back of the tyre if that makes sense. Anyway, I have some rough pics of it, it's funny now that I'm used to it it doesn't look that low, but then I see an old picture and it looks like it's on stilts! You get some 'pads' that you can use to further space things out, I believe we installed 2 at the rear on both sides, so the rear is slightly higher than just 'low' would be...Just preferred it that way. I've also taken a little bit of weight out of the car, so yours may sit slightly lower (taken about 30kg off the front for example)
I found some pictures from when I actually changed the springs:
Before:
After (superlow front, low rear):
I think the after is with the 'low' springs on the rear and no plates on, I stuck the plates in so the back sits slightly higher now than in this pic, but I thought this provided a better example of what you were after
