Pi, Boge and Apex do 40mm springs
gmax do a 60mm kit

KYB are good replacement dampers but not sure they'd like a 50mm drop :-?

if ya really gonna go for 50mm drop you may be better off getting some short stroke dampers like gmax, spax or koni (if you can afford em) designed for a low setup, std ford, monroe, gabriel etc may not last long :aaah:

my KYB's are coupled with 35mm eibach springs and that combination gives very good handling and ride comfort :D

in that case gmax 60mm kit could be an option, isn't any lower than the spax 35mm kit...
