If you want the wheels to sit under the arch nicely with no scrubbing (deppending on the offset of wheel that is) 55mm Pi springs on koni shocks would do the trick as it has done for mine, although the ride is harsh hahaha

right mate... its guna b a bumpy ride whether u get just springs or shocks aswell. if you go for a severe drop on just springs it does fuck up because your car will bottom out. gettin the full kit including shocks will prevent this, handling will be stiffer, which is safer on bends etc, but even more harsh, and uprated stiffened shocks and springs will avoid any scrubbing as long as you dont slam it on its arse. springs on their own, bout £40-70 depends on car and supplier. full kit £200+ . hope this helps

40mm is not low enought if you want it just above the arch and is deffo not if you have a small engine that wont weight it down. my front wheels sit under the arch aswell as the back and this is all on 16's hope i help
