Right....

My knowledge of suspension is shocking, so please bear with me!

Can't really afford coilovers, so it rules them out unfortunately.

I want to make the stance of the car better, hence why I want to lower it. So Im only really going for aesthetics!

What are decent springs to go for, and what is the suggested lowering amount? I don't want to be scraping the front splitter everywhere I go, however I want the gap between the tyre and the arch minimised as much as possible!

By lowering the car, how will the standard shocks cope? (I don't plan to change these)

By lowering the car, will it adversely affect handling? Im guessing that its only really going to improve body roll...

Thanks all, really appreciate it!

the pro kit will give you 15mm and the sportline give about 30mm but as i go on a few track days 15mm would be perfect for me

Greeners:
I have the Eibach's too  :happy2:

Really happy with them as it hasn't seemed to have compromised the ride and the car is flatter through the twisty's!  :party:
