pity you don't live here in nz lol
got a set of standard springs sittin in the corner 
i think usually standard height is something like 4inches or somethin from the tyre to the wheel arch
depending of course on tyre profile bla bla bla
but you get the idea

ok so i would say you've probly had a 55mm drop thereabouts
get some factory jza70/ga70/ma70 springs.. get them compressed 40mm she'll look sweet.. doesn't cost much and you shouldn't scrape as much hehe

You can just buy stockies and compress them? With those clamp things or you can actualy get them permenetly compressed? where could i get that done? any mech? or sus joint? or machine shop/engineer?
I had no idea you could do that, thought the only 'cheat' way was to cut em and i'm not a fan of that.
Might got 35 just to be safe!

yep you can compress them
not a bad ride either.. got mine compressed 50mm a tiny bit bumpy but better than aftermarket lowered ones i had in before.. they were hella bumpy hehe
just ring any spring shop and if they can't help you they should be able to direct you to someone that can
