Default what lowering springs for a 2wd cossie

I have a 2.0 DOHC sierra with full cossie suspension, brakes etc and i want lowered springs. I only want to lower it by max 25mm preferably slightly less. What are my options and where should i go to buy them?
I already have koni adjustable shocks all round.

Cheers

personally i wouldn't lower it, as doing so buggers up the genometery and wears the tyres quicker.

so standard height springs then? Yeh im aware the camber and toe in goes to hell when you lower them! The car just now is so low it ruined two tyres in 4 months! thats why im after new ones. I just thought standard height looked a bit high. But if it will drive better standard, then ill just buy standard!

If you want it to handle better you will need uprated standard height springs

Think chassis dynamics make them in either -25mm or standard height

I would personally lower it,way to high standard

Mine lowered by 30mm on Eibach springs
