Eibach springs are recommended by Ford, drop about 30-35mm and retain a comfortable drive.

Thanx for the reply foxy06 Do I need to change the shocks/ dampeners? Or will the springs be good on there own?

With that level of lowering the standard dampers will be fine.

135 sheets sounds good is it a job that you would recomend going to a garage to do or could I do it at home myself?

Depending how nifty you are and what tools, can be done at home....

But i recommend a garage with lift if you have a mate or somewhere for good price.
