So, I know there are a ton of topics out there about lowerings prings, but it's hard to draw a conslusion from there, especially for a 1.2 16V..

I am owner of a white 1.2 16V for a few months now (had a Saxo VTS before), and I don't really like the suspension. Rear is way to high, and the suspension just feels a little too soft for me. Don't want to spend to much money on the suspension for now (would've bought a 133 then :D ), so I am looking into some lowering springs. Big question for me is reliability, how much can I lower it on the stock shocks, without them needing replacement after a year? I don't really bother slowing down for corners or speedbumps, so that might be someting to take in consideration.

I currently have an eye on (could post some links if that comes in handy):
- 25/25 springs from Eibach
- 30/30 springs from ST (KW)
- 20/30 springs from Vogtland (did some research, seems to be a good brand).

So, is 30mm an acceptable drop on the standard shocks, and which set will improve my handling the most? Thanks!
