Eibachs or H&Rs. Pay the extra and it may handle. I'd also get some decent shocks on there, Koni's at least. Gmax are soft as shit

they say pretty much 40 mm is the lowest on springs and standard shocks mate. My mate just went down 50 on standard shocks and uprated springs and i see why they say that, most of the coils are touching when its sitting there which is gonna cause issues. You got a quality VTR there id get yourself a kit. I wanna go 40 but im gonna get a Spax VSX kit, theres a few people on here who reccommend em and its only 200 quid.
Better than it bottomin out on a corner and losin the whole lot, thats my justification on spendin the extra money anyhoo

Yeah you could. But lowerin 50 on springs with standard shocks isnt advised. Your car though mate. Personally im savin now so i can fit decent stuff rather than go half way because i want peace of mind
