Personally I've got Ahmeds spec Leda springs and the ride and feel is spot on but the height is probably only been lowered 20mm.
I think Esc Cos's look there best with a slightly higher rear... excessively lowered Esc Cos's can look wrong.

too low also can lead to broken driveshafts as i found out!!
the bayjoo (leda) springs paul refers to are spot on and they drop the car 10mm which is maximum drop on standard rims.

If you lower the rear too much, you will have handling / tyre wear issues....

I totally agree. I think they can start to look like a replica if there too low at the back, as most replicas ive seen are like this.

Quailty ride never crashes or knocks etc its just spot on and very stable at high speed
