How low can I legally go?
As low as you want as far as i know, only thing you have to do is be able to get on to the brake test things at MOT centres

How low do most people go?
Micra 35mm

What do I need? New shocks or springs?
Can be done just with lowered springs on standard shocks, 35mm that is
Any more and you'll be looking at coil overs!

How much am I looking at? £££
Set of lowered springs brand new you'll EASILY get change from £100
Coilovers £600 PLUS!!

im pretty sure thats just a generic descritption for spax suspension, they wont make 80mm drop springs for the micra

80mm would put you on the floor, just remove the suspension and replace it with bouncy midgets.
But seriously go with a well known company. People say avoid G-max, people are wrong, they are fine.
