Hi mate, welcome. Lowering blocks on the back of 1" will lower your car by 1", " blocks will lower it 2" etc etc. Same with springs. lowering springs are available, otherwise the more ghetto way of doing it is to cut the springs. not the best for handling though.

To fit the lowering blocks at the rear you'll need longer bolts and nuts. Both springs and blocks can be bought off Dai on here. For sale section - performance parts cat.

Hope that helps a little.
