The folks on the zone seem to highly recommend the H+R kit which provides a 60mm drop. (about Ԛ£350)

Spax PSX and Bilstein Streetline or Sprintline are cheaper but not as good value for money as the H+R.

Personally, I'm going for a 35mm drop with H+R springs and bilstein sport dampers

Hmm.I dunno what drop to go for until the infinity lip and splitter are on.Where can I get an H+R suspension kit??

good man! 60mil drop is the way to go. im running a apex kit which is good. I i had spax on my motorsport conv which were better and similarly priced like the h&r kit.

Yup. Im wanting a really really stiff suspension kit though.H + R or spax seems the ones to go for though.
