Putting the car in next week to get a full paint job and want to lower it a bit more on the 19's, as it sits like a bus at the back so what do you guys recomend!!

Remember thet excessive lowering will need lotsof geometry mods for the car to handle. Unless it's only for show :-(

Gaz are good, and a decent price for what your likely to pay for them - Especially thru Chris

unless you intend on spending a fortune on bilstein or H & R.

Both are not externally adjustable :-( By the way it's the same technology - H&R uses Bilstein inserts.
