I think 40's the max without having to buy new shocks.

Yeah I wouldnt recommend more than a 40mm drop on just springs, better to go for springs and shocks if you can though, just gives a better ride and handling improves loads.

How much does it cost for a 'good' set of lowering springs, and how much would it cost to get them professionaly fitted - as i dont fancy doing it myself
