Ive got SPAX on mine which has fully adjustable shox. She coners like Rally car. It appears that the most common suspension kit is the KONI suspension kit. SPAX and KONI are pretty much the same but the KONIs usally costs a bit more. If i were u i would only lower the car about 35mm, if u lower it any more then u going to wear out alot of the suspension components and it will be difficult getting the car over speed humps and not forgetting tyres.Its all up to u and depends on how much dough you have. GOOD LUCK with the project BRUV

I have known Spax shockers to blow seals...

Koni and Bilstein are probably the best road shockers...
