If you're not wanting to spend much mate your best bet is getting a set of springs on standard shocks. Something like Spax, G-Max or eibach can all offer lowering of your car between 30 and 60mm. To be honest I wouldn't recommend going down 60mm on standard shocks.

Higher budget you can get a full suspension kit with shocks and springs like i've just done, offers excellent quality and good ride.

Even higher budget is adjustable coilovers.

Even even higher budget is hydraulics...

How much do you wanna spend?:p

well if i can get a cheap set of shocks and springs, i would do that (bout 200Â£ish)

but i wouldnt go in 2 coilovers r anything like that 2 much cash

and im only lowering a bit and i have heard that bout 40 is ok to do on standards

i know some ppl running -60mm on standard shocks, the ride quality is affected and is quite bad, its a cheap option tho, just upgrading springs.

the ride would be very good at 30mm and good at 40mm, if youy use standard dampers then the car should behave very similiar to how it did before the lowering springs.
