For lowest drop get coilovers.

i wouldnt go too far tho mate, i think the 'scraping the front bumper off the ground novelty' would soon wear off quick.

Incidentally, when you say 16v, do you mean 2.0 16v or small block? The weight of a bigger engine will dictate what springs you can use...

if you have a big block i would say go for coilovers as well then you can choose the drpo anyway

Start at about ?500 and go up till you cry lol.

if you have normal seperate springs for the rears you can make travel limiters out of old seatbelts to stop the beam from dropping too far and letting the spring out..
