Keep an eye on eBay would be my advise. They seem to go for about £20-£30 a set on there and come up fairly regularly. I've lowered mine on OMP springs and they ride very well, firm but not harsh, so they come highly recommended.

Just keep looking then fella is all I can say. There was a brand new set of lowering springs on eBay about 2 weeks ago which went for about £26 + P&P so if you can bide your time for a little while, some more will pop up.

Either that or someone on here may have a spare set lying around which they are willing to let go. I've got a spare GMax set (bought from eBay), but we manage to break on average at least one suspension spring per year so I'm keeping them as spares for mine for when they break.

Actually, other suggestions for wallowy handling would be the anti-roll bar bushes. The rear ones on mine were a right mess, replaced them and it's tightened up the rear end nicely. Also had 4 wheel alignment done so I now know all wheels are pointing the right way. Doesn't try to put me into ditches/on-coming traffic when going over crests anymore.

How hard is it!! got a set of 40ml lowering springs from a company called D P motorsport in Ayr in Scotland, they sell some stuff off cheap. Tell them your on 406oc, they might offer you a discount! I payed £110 plus 9.99 delivery, now looking for 60ml lowering!
