   you could chop your front springs mate but its not a very gd idia to do it because when cornering they can pop out of the shock housing and it will just f*ck up ya car lol so not a gd idia, but you can pick springs up these days for pennys just serch around mate

   depends what you are after mate, if you are going for more performance, a 30mm drop will be perfect but not as noticeable whereas if you just want it looking good, i advise 50-60mm. My vtr is down 60mm all round with vtr wheels and imo is the perfect height... heres a pic to give you an idea
