Anyone have any recommendations?

I run a MK3 TDCI Estate (as a taxi, so not an ST!) to which I've just added some 18" ST replica wheels and now it has something of a 4x4 look about it! So I need to drop it a wee bit, but obviously not too much as I still need to be able to carry 4 people + luggage. I've found one or two options but they all seem to drop the car by AT LEAST 30mm, which is an absolute maximum I would go for, unless anyone tells me a 30mm drop will still cope fine under a full load?

Whilst I'm about it, I thought I might go for some beefier brakes too, mainly to try & prevent so much dust but I don't know if uprated brakes = less dust or vice versa, so any recommendations on that front?

Thx in advance smile

Get the eibach springs from ford if you want to lower that should be by about 25-30mm.

With brakes larger ones will no doubt mean more dust, but the most popular upgrade for mk3s is to get a pair of focus st calipers and discs and bolt them on.
