Lowering your car by any amount will affect your ride quality. Lowering your car is also not only what you prefer but what is available in terms of lowering springs.

Are you using coilovers?

It's not Newbie.. There is way too much information in the first post and it is also legible! Plus it's an NA not his/his mate's/his dad's GTB.

Serious answer though - mate, completely up to you how much you want to lower the car. You'll sacrifice ride quality for looks/stance. Is it for handling or looks? What wheels will you run?

I haven't measured, but my car is about 50mm lower than stock bilstein.
It sits nicely, the rears tuck slightly and theres no front wheel gap. Perfect height for me, tein springs or the like don't sit low enough.
