Not seen any springs for £100;00 quid though add another £100:00 to your budget and your in business,,,i to will be looking into dropping the car next year,but i need to do some more digging as i want to the lower/firm up the car on the stock dampers/struts as i dont want to go down the coilover route....

Nice drop and still factory ride comfort.

They are fine for my budget.

Cost about £140 delivered from Awesome
