Don't do it mate, use springs and keep it at a decent height! I think yours would look epic on savaras (17" 3008 wheels)

i hate coilovers i've had them before on other cars and unless you spend a decent amount they are horrible, the spring adjusters seize, the ride is crap and the shocks leak ,you would have to spend upwards of £500 to get a decent set.
a better option in my opinion would be a decent set of shocks and springs.

I have Bilstein B4 shocks and they are amazing! You seriously don't want a 60mm drop as its stupidly low. I lowered mine about 25mm and that is as low as possibly get. The length from the centre of the wheel to the very front part of the front bumper is very long, so you have to be careful to not scrape your bumper everywhere.
