No prob - do you have a list of mods and pics of your car? Haevn't seen it before. Looks really interesting in that avatar. Please post some up when you can - esp after you have sorted out your rims and suspension.

If you want to measure the height, it's either from the centre of the alloy to the guard or the bottom of the rim to the guard, measuring it off the tyre will not be accurate due to the tyre pressure...

If i were you i'd go for max.40mm drop from std.ride height.Any lower and it's a pain getting in and out of driveways,speed humps etc.I've got a 40mm drop and it looks good and no problems re:ground clearance.
