Yo, just type it in on the search button, there's alot of threads which cover suspension. Depending on what you wanna do just some springs, kings or lovell are good. I got charged around 300 ish at Wilkisons to put some king springs in my bugeye. Other wise grab some coilovers if you wanna get it low and have fun on the track aswell.

If you are happy with the way it rides get the springs reset lower.

That way you keep the same spring rate.

It will be your cheapest option if you can do the removal and refitting yourself.

Just get a good quality, not tyre shop, wheel alignment as soon as it's back together.

Just don't go too low or you will sacrafice ride and handling.

I would suggest 20-30mm for good handling.

Go to Wheels World, put in some Whiteline (or similar) -30 springs, get a good alignment done and there you go... ALK would be a good idea too.
