If you message the seller you might be able to grab some, don't know much myself but they seemed a bargain!

I've just had some Gaz coilovers put on my PD150. Cost me £500 and they're great! Adjustable ride height and dampness/stiffness. Great for me as I carry kit everywhere for my band on the weekends, so I can have them smooth in the week, solid at the weekend.

+1 for GAZ suspension.

If you want it to go alot lower then get coilovers, browse ebay etc and get a decent brand. If you don't want to go mega low then some good shocks and springs will suffice for sure. Some ~40mm lowering springs.

I think the Gaz drop is between 25 ~ 65mm. Currently got mine set about 40mm and are great.
Bit more pricey than the standard eBay stuff but way way better!
If you get lowering springs you'll probably end up getting coilovers eventually  :grin:
