    Default broken spring

    i know this a common issue and i had the news today, from the stealers doing my service, that i have a broken coil spring. they offered to replace it for £390but i reluctantly declined! lol.
    i will use this as the excuse to go down the lowered spring route so my question is.....which springs would you recommend on standard shocks (55 plate signum 2.2 design) or is it better to go down the spring and shock combination route?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    was yours 15mm lower ie sri spec before you went to eibachs? mine is design so has sri spec ride height.
    the reason i ask is that if i go for a set, is it 30mm lower than a standard height so i will only lower 15mm or will they lower mine by 30mm?
