ye ha!!!! someone is aiming a question straight at me!
For the rear I used, Kings Corona ST / RT Low LTRL-25; (stock installed height of mine were 295mm, if that is of any interest), could prbly do with a touch stiffer and 5-10mm lower in my opinion. Also had my panhard rod made adjustable ($50).
For the front I actually fitted SA63 struts (have slightly bigger brakes, better brake pad choice (can get EBC greenstuff), better spring/shock options in my opinion, with Kings MA61 Low KTFL-31 springs and the stock shocks revalved (to fit the MA61 springs you need to use the MA61 tops spring hat tho, which usually means that you need to buy a set of MA61 struts). These feel quite stiff/nice, but atm I've still got the stock tyres and I can't really feel what is letting the setup down with the poor grip! Was an amazing transformation tho!
I did have the SA63 struts in with Stock MA61 springs at one stage and there was lowering evident with these, I think I measured the hub to guard somewhere so I could work it out if you really want...
Camber is 0.3+ve on both sides with the SA63/MA61 Kings lows and 30mm Roll Center Adjusters (RCA's). I manufactured the RCA's with the help of blake and his father, cheers guys
If you want to know anything else shoot!
Cheers
Wilbo

Any suspension shop worth dealing with will be able to get you custom springs or match something from another model of car. If they can't, go through someone else, as they obviously aren't that good at what they do.

FWIW I may have a pair of MA61 struts for sale soon-ish, with Kings low springs and KYB strut inserts.
