what are peoples recommendations for lowering? i mean what sort of height and any suggestions for kits, dont really feel the need for coilovers, just want a bit less body roll and make it a bit firmer, i would guess it would be worthwhile changing the shocks aswell as springs? anyone with pics of lowered t5s would be good to see them,
cheers

Really? Would have thought you'd want to improve the handling but keep the ride as soft as poss?

Had my 850 2.5 saloon done 2004 I think it was around £180 fitted (South Coast Wheels, Southampton)),Pi springs 30mm lower & kept the standard shocks,Looks just right & not to silly,parked next to a T5 & seems to sit a little lower.
