safe for coils, cos you will get 50mm drop, and won't be happy cos it may scrape or be too high/low. I would only get coilovers now. They are totaly worth it! D2's!!!!!!!

Sorry just read your first post! (Didn't see the coilover bit) I would say start at 50mm, take some bumps and some roundabouts and some country roads if you got any, and adjust to suit.

I'm lowered on 50mm spax suspension. 50mm is a good safe amount. Get the camber and tracking checked though afterwards or you might chew up your tyres
