I've been considering lowering mine too.

Was thinking the skunk progressive springs and keep the rest stock. Has anyone got pictures of the BK coilovers fitted ie pictures before and after??? I'm keeping the stock 16" wheels too.

Where would be the best (and cheapest if poss) place to buy these from?

I compell you not to get them, they lower too much and you wont be able to get the full range of adjustment thus effect the handling.

Upto you though.

I had Eibachs - no issues.

My OEM front spoiler used to get caught on bumps if I wasn't careful.

Theres a definitive springs thread on the yank side, it has pictures with the drops and spring rates - use it as a guide only

The best seem to be RSR but very expensive, I'd say swifts, RSR, eibach, tein etc.
