Yeh i would like to go a bit lower then that i might go for 40mm shocks and springs because i was thinking of getting coilovers but didnt no if it was pointless or not because i wont be able to go very low.

Depends how much you want to spend - you need to spend 400 + for a good set IMO

this is another reason i was thinking of just going shocks and springs cos i could get some real good ones for a reasonably low price in comparison to coilovers if i go down 40mm will i need uprated arb

yeh that looks well good did you have to uprate the arb for that and do you have problems going over speedbumps.
