How do I lower my Micra?

[Mattk12]

I need to lower my Micra k12 SE, Ive bought BBS reps 15" same as standard size with 4 X 100 fitment, I fitted them and I've got a 50mm plus gap from the tyre to wheel arch... Coilovers are £450+. Are there cheaper lowering springs I can buy? Or do spend money on coilovers? Ive heard the MK3 Clio coilovers will fit but I'm not sure...

Please help. Share the knowledge!! Thanks guys!

Well, from here: -06 Micra 160 SR of Mika The Finn

This:
And the lowering of my Micra vehicle.
Was done with => E10-63-010-01-22 Eibach Pro-Kit Federn für Tieferlegung NISSAN MICRA III 25-30mm . With original tire size 185/50-16, diameter 591mm, clearance from wheel to fender is ~45mm. For SR160 lowering is 25-30mm with linked springs, that's low enough for me on Finnish roads and speed bumps with 16" wheels. I don't need to dramatically slow down when driving to speed bumbs, drive ways/yard roads and no rubbing to inner fenders
And these springs includes TUV-certificate in order to pass Finnish MOT.

If you know how to look from eBay with search words: nissan micra k12 lowering springs.
Cheapest that I found with postage to UK from Ebay:

If you're not racing your vehicle and just want the decent aesthetic. Then get lowering springs. Get just 40mm springs.
Buy 50mm and you have no movement or clearance.
