Why not just change the rubber pads to the smallest size 8 in the link

good idea but i rather change the springs and suspension arms
Changing the rubber pads will help you lower it by upto 15-20mm along with some Eibach springs which will acheive around 35 - 40mm and that would be sufficient, I wouldnt change the suspension arms unless they are worn/old for 2 reasons; 1 - save the money, 2 - ride quality will get stiffer if changed, whereas springs alone wont effect the ride too much. I have used eibachs on mine and its still very very comfortable
Great idea-until you rip the sump off on speedhumps?
when your car look good you never going fast enough to get your sump damaged anyway. I have had lowered cars in past in LONDON and never had an issue with cracked sump.
i was origonaly thinking of doing this but i heard that it recks the suspension arms after a while and it would be benifical to do it all at onces.
low n slow all the way lol o yh decided today to go with the springs u suggested chers mate
lowering to 40mm should not be a problem at all ! Like you say low and slow, There is a chap local to me with the old shape e320 never had a problem with lowering but be aware the 40mm may end up 45mm when they bed in.
