      Edit:- beaten to it by Tonks!

      If you want to keep stock ish spring rates but lower the car a little then there's also the option of some DIY coilovers but you need to do your research on spring rate and length to get that one right...

        Yep, they fit the standard strut.

          Ditto! Stock height is low enough on the roads around here...

            You could by two front sets, like an avant set and a pair for fronts, as some setups had fronts on the rear of the coupe. 29939VA = 29909VA

            so you would have 29909VA on the front struts and 29939VA on the rear struts.

            There is quite a few discussions on fronts springs on rears in the forum.

                Very soon we will have valid info for spring rates. I have tried so many I know!
