I want to lower my 325, but i dont want solid suspension cos most of my fast driving is on poor surface country lanes.
I was thinking -40mm springs with my M sport dampers, has anyone got this combo or do you think i should get a complete kit? Dont want to spend much more than £300?

Eurocarparts or GSF will have a kit to suit at your budget.

Complete kit is generally best way to go. Lowering springs and std dampers can be a problem.

go as low as a snakes cock is to the ground !!! :D

60/40 looks good, and the H&R spring work well with bilstein sport an dsprint shocks, the ride is firm but compliant
