    Stoney I've lowered the last 4 cars I've owned All have been via the springs route. XR2 was Spax, Mondeo, MG ZR and mini all Eibach. IMO the Eibachs are by far the best progresively wound springs available for the money They actually smoothed out the ride on all the cars they were fitted to and that was with standard shocks. There quality and paint finish is second to none and their on road performance really sharpened the whole suspension up The one issue you may have is that they normally only drop a car from between 25 - 35mm in my experience The Spax ones seemed OK but I had Koni adjustable shock on that were wound up far too hard if I'm honest so it was like a race car Used to shake things off the dash it was that hard Think Eibachs are used on the Cooper racing minis
