Default 240 lowered springs

Hi there,
Am looking to lower my 240 estate this week, just ordering in springs. Anyone got any recommendations?
Also will I need to change the shocks or any other part of the steering?
Cheers Paul

shorter springs need to be stiffer so they won't bottom out, stiffer springs require more damping, hence stiffer shocks.

IPD Sport springs, and Bilstein HD(sport) shocks are a good match.

don't go overboard on + size rims with low profile tires, or your ride will really suck on rough roads.
