im using kyb adj dampers with tein springs on my type r,does lower quite a bit and then i had arch rub,(7.5x18" et48 wheels with 215/35/18 tyres.)so i had the arches rolled and it looks just right and handles extremely well.

I would recommend the P1 spring. It lowers by just 1" so you aren't into the 'bad handling' territory, plus your dampers wont suffer premature wear. The spring is suited for UK roads, has good progression, is firm but comfortable. IMO the best solution for a classic Scoob, road going

Stay away from the likes of Tein/Eibach - terrible springs
