Hey mate welcome to the site.
The king springs website says superlows will be between 50-60mm lower than standard. Thats a fair bit, if you have a big exhaust that will probably be what scrapes on everything, so have a look under your car and see how high that is at the moment.

Monroes are alright i think theyre stock in a lot of early commos. I like KYB for good value for money.
