Good points BRGT350 concerning making dramatic changes to the height of the car and extremely stiff springs and struts...coil overs...

Lower the car 1" or less will generally not affect the suspension geometry in too detrimental a way....with a combination of slightly stiffer struts and springs like H&R sport springs and say Sachs Sporting struts and shocks (these two companies work together) you will get a really comfortable AND sporting car ALMOST go kart like..Actually a couple of decades ago it would be very hard to achieve this combination.

I think that Sachs and Boge are OEM for Ford in Europe.

My guess is the standard EU car is 1/2" to 3/4 " lower than the US version overall.
