    Too many options to list. Depends on what you want as well, road/track/cost are all considerations.

    What will you be using the car for and what is your budget? Once you have figured that out have a quick look online and read reviews of systems that catch your eye.

    To get you started I have used spax and Jamex in the past - not particularly great stuff but a mile ahead of std gear. Koni are better but of course cost more.

    I use sca race n rally centre in norwich to do my lowering, and they always recommend just a 40mm drop for road use only, as going anymore will seriously start to soon knacker your driveshafts, droplinks, and the rear beam bearings will be taking far more stress too. So in my opinion, go for 40mm lowering springs, prices start around £45 up, but as i say, you can use the lower priced ones up to 40mm drop, as soon as you go lower like 50mm or more, then you will need far better/costlier set up all round!. Your choice, but all the best. vtr-man
