Go 60mm all they way you will have no problems at all!

Std shock will be fine as mine is still on them and have not done any arch mods

have had a full car and not had any rubbing at all

Had mine dropped from a good while now and have had no problems just hours of fun driving round bends and rbouts! you feel notice the difference in corners

Keep ringing Renault insurance there will be asomeone there who will alloy you to lower the car and put it down as a visual mod not a performance mod which arent allowed under the free insuracne deal.

Its work a try just ring them three time I recon they will let you say your mates have been alowed to in the past etc.
