Default How low should I go?..

Hi all,

I'm restoring a '68 1800 and don't want to fit standard new springs. Looking at an unmessed with original car, they tend to sit noticeably lower anyway due to the wear on springs etc. and I want to replicate this stance as I think it looks much better than standard. I seem to remember fitting 40mm lowering springs in the past and they looked good and the car certainly handled better along with a stiffer front ARB, but I see 60 and even 100mm lowering springs available now. I don't want to make the car look like it has been 'bagged' or 'slammed' (?) and I don't want to grind the exhaust on traffic speed bumps if at all possible but I might want to go lower so has anyone got photos of their 1800 and comments on their experiences driving them after lowering?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gordon
