I have 60mm Gmax lowering springs with Pi shocks. Bloody bumpy but got the set for £85 second hand. Its good enough, and would say it drops it by about how much it should.
Gmax kits are about £200-£220 and Apex are about £240 I think.

G-max shocks and springs drop more than they say, and with 17s itl handle like poo.

I like the sound of the koni red set, i mean, i'll pay up to about 250. Not too bothered about handling, well don't want it too be rock hard, cause it only goes to and from work and round seafront a bit. John_C where was that from?

Thanx John, don't suppose you've got any pics of the front arch have you just so i know how low it'll sit roughly.
