you can get apex for a 172. around £90 for a 40mm drop.

eibach proline are a bit more but offer a better ride as there progressively wound

 

[theduck]

or eibach sportline as they are just as good as prolines but give a better drop! pro's dotn drop much on the 172

 

[Neil G]

I'd go for Eibach pros

Just my preference though....not keen on heavily lowered cars

I looked into this not long ago.
Spoke to the guru Fred @ YozzaSport.

Choose sportlines over prolines any day (My opinion).
If your not going to change the shocks, don't go for any lower than Sportlines (about 20/30mm drop). The shocks will FUBAR with any more than that. Also Sportlines aren't aggressive. Makes the car sit perfectly, stops it looking like a 4x4. Handles a lot better aswell. Best mod for the money I've ever done.

In fact your not far from Fred. Take a trip down, you won't be disappointed.
