I went King Spring Superlows, not sure on the amount of drop, but the lowest part of the car is now 110mm from the ground. I was too poor to change the shocks.

The car is a bit bouncy on the Kings, it does not bounce so much when you have a bit of weight on the rear - changing the shocks with short stroke shocks (designed for lowered springs) should eliminate this. You need to angle into driveways etc. Yes bumps are very firm, but due to the control blade IRS rear, its no where as bad as lowered Lancers and Corollas I've been in. I did a trip from Gold Coast to Sydney and my gf was asleep for half the trip.

In terms of handling, 1 word - awesome. Its soooo direct with the road. In the twisties, it keeps up with a lot of "performance" orientated cars.
