35mm i think are the lowest springs they do for the micra....if you want to go any lower buy some coilovers. 35mm springs ranage from £30-£70ish and shocks range from £200. you can get coilover from around £500 then you need a panhard rod on top of this price.

you would be better off getting an adjustable panhard rod even if you were lowering 35mm, you can get away without using one but you will notice slight uneven tire wear.

springs can range from 35-45mm drops with i think the HKS springs are 54mm at the front and 60 somthing at the back.

for a decent set up at a cheapish price i would get KYB gas shocks and your choice of 35mm lowering springs.

KYB shocks - http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/ quite a few people have used this set up and found it good.

personally i recommend the full whitleine set up, thats a bit pricey though.
