I've just done the same on mine & I'm looking at the Koni shocks & ahmed springs. Mike off here sells them & your looking at £160 for the springs & £310 for the 4 shocks.

I would of thought you could get away with a 1" drop on the standard shocks but if they have never been replaced their probably well past their best so I plan to do the whole lot together.

Make sure you get the geometry reset after changing the suspension to get the best out of it.

Cobra springs give the car the best stance IMO
