Default Got to lower the saff

Just bought my second saff, 4x4. It needs lowering. Dont really want to put full suspension kit just a set of springs. But which are the best? Any ideas.

Not cheap, I think woodford do the best deal @ £150

20mm drop

Don't go any lower or you'll start having drive shaft probs, tyre wear etc

On my old 4x4 I only fitted the rear springs,-25mm chassis dynamics.The car sat nice and level like that and did'nt get the driveshaft problems
1 thing I would say is though put some koni's/spax shoxs atleast on the rear,but would reccomend all round,transforms the handling
