60mm is too low and will ruin the handling, 30mm is the best comprimise between looks and handling

if there going on a bonus they sit higher anyway so 60mm drop on a bonus is like a 35mm drop on an rs as the rs sits i think 25mm lower.

60mm will probably be ok if it is a bonus. RST's sit lower than a standard Escort so only a small drop will make it normal RST height.
