will u change the height much?

for you defently not.

You only want it to get the rear lower,

Which i personally dont think is worth it,
Your best buying Eibach srpings for £90 which are designed to work with your standard dampers. This will lower your car enough with the amount of ICE in your boot.

Spend the other cash on something else..

Handerling wise the coilovers are slightly better, however the ride is alot lot harder....

for 5k a year imho its defently not worth it.

Eibachs are 119.99 from me. I would get them, like pete says you don't want to go low enough to justify getting coilovers
