Depends if you want to get over speed bumps + your price range, a full coilover kit is expensive but it's normally the best idea, if you just want to lower it but have a rougher ride then go for springs. 40/40 is what im going for or 40/30. Some slam it to the floor and do 60/60 but thats up to you.

I disagree, they are harsh and bashy most of the time unless you spend silly money, and who really adjusts the height once it's on the car?
The best bet IMO is Bilstein. I went in my friends Corsa with them on this weekend and oh my god, what a ride. Everyone raves about them and I can see why.

i personally would go for a fixed height kit. something like bilstein or koni ( if your budget isnt massive) 60mm all round is the norm with 16" wheels and a 40mm drop with 17" as a rough guide. you want to get as close to offset et49 as possible though.
as for mille miglia they have gone bust so you wont be able to get them unless there 2nd hand

i was thinking along the lines of dropping it down 60mm all round,been looking at the bilstein shocks and spring kit got a price for £240 ,but 16'' will be ok with 60mm drop as long as i get et49 yepText YellowText Blue
