Depends on how much you want to spend tbh, but if your changing the springs its recomended to get a kit that comes with shocks too, ive had a look around and i found a good pair of springs and shocks for 200 quid, spax too iirc.

lol at half the people's suggestions in this thread, no, no and no, u wanna go low take a look at lee's car then u can see how to do it properly. If ur gonna lower it on springs atleast get uprated dampers, if ur gonna lower it 50-60mm get shortened dampers aswell. When I measured the front to rear difference on mine it was 15mm higher at the back than front so if u want it level go for abit more on the back, but knowmore than 15mm reverse rake= fail. Just becasue u can drop the back quite low deosnt mean u shud looks stupid when the front not as low!
