I was also very gung-ho to do lowering springs, and I'm so glad that I didn't. I've learnt to live with the wheel gap, and I realise that even 1" lower would be a PITA with speedbumps, driveways, etc.

IMO, the stock suspension is amazing. I frequently track my car, and I won't be changing anything.

sav's right about RGM's 86. They put in Eibach springs and tested it at Midvaal where it performed very poorly (I was told this by Rob and the guys at Midvaal on seperate occasions). I think that they've since got it sorted out because when I last saw their car at Zwartkops in May, it seemed to be handling fine. Dunno if they went back to stock suspension though.
They went with Bilstein coilovers.
