Lowering springs are shorter ( may be stiffer ) than your normal springs and are normally available in drops like 25mm , 40mm , 60mm etc .
Cost say R1000 and up , need to remove front struts to fit .
Coil over uses coil springs of smaller diameter with special nuts working on threaded shock body allowing you to set the height and stiffness .
Cost say R6000 and up , remove old springs and shocks and fit coilovers . Need to set for what ride you want .

Thatnks fo rthe response raybimmer...Coil overs looks like the way to go..Cos i want the look, but not the hard stiff ride...

here is a set of coilover springs for a very good price although I have no idea how good they are as they are very cheap.

Coil overs

If anyone here knows anything about this set please inform us if they are good or bad as I am seriously considering getting them, I love the fact that I can adjust my ride height.
