If you ever need any springs making up i had some lowered ones made by these guys http://www.springcoil.co.uk

sent in my old ones that we uprated and not lowered and got back a nice set of lowered ones but to the same rating as the old ones £95 all in.

Not on the car yet, so will find out what they handle like when its all going
