if just springs u want id say 30mm eibach. 60 looks nice but isnt very practical as you have to watch out for speed bumps and cant park easily in multi storeys etc, also the ride isnt very good

note though im not talkiing from experience its just what ive read and been told as ive asked the same question in the past and got those kinda responses :)

ive had a 1.3 and 1.6 si on 60mm gmax lowering kit and i can say that there pretty good, the only problem i have was the wheels catching on the front drivers wheel arch, but ive just cut the lip off and bent the edge round and its been fine so far. speed bumps were only a problem when i put the bolts on the u-clamp pointing down, turned it sideway and it never caught, and the roof was in line with my mates slammed mini :devil:
