Eibach springs - lowers 30/40mm. Any lower and you will have will need to change shocks as well and will mess with the handling. Cost about 140 quid ??
Probably should replace shocks as well - type depends on use of the car (street/track)

'74 Polaris 2002 (mmmm, retro)
'89 Delphin 535i (mmmm, waft waft)
