springs and shakles, where to buy from??

I want to lower my lightning by about 2" but i cant find anywhere over here in the UK that sells them. Where do you guys get your lowering kits from so i can make some enquiries and start getting my lightning sorted.

From what i understand a 2" drop will need something like a 2.5 or 3" kit. Not sure why this is but lost of posts on here say that this is the case.

thanks in advance

Shackles are a very easy install, (about 20 - 30 minutes top) I would DEF start there.

Johnny has the Drop Shackles that get you the most drop, I would get those
HERE'S THE LINK

hi ricki, ive just emailed you as it seems i cant PM people on here. Hope you can get back to me. If you dont get the email then could you email me direct on richardcash@gmail.com

just checked that you live just off the M3. Im in cambridge until the end of the week then heading back home down to torquay, straight past your town. Would be good to meet up, even if you cant help with the suspension, just to meet a fellow SVT owner.

cheers

rich
