I've used that seller in Karlo's reply for shorter dogbones. Top quality, really fast service and at £16 you can't go wrong.
His full range of lowering kits from his website are here

Re: Longer dogbones - dazza - 13-07-12
Thanks chaps, you're right, for 16 quid you can't go wrong, have seen them for about £45 but if you say the quality is there I can't see a problem. Thanks for the offer digdug, are they in good nick and how much do you want for them ? If reasonable on both counts I will defo have them but if you're anything like me you probably wont be able to find them :lol Picture would be nice

Ive got a pair in the garage (and i know where they are
) dont know if they are long/short whatever if anybody could tell me the centres / lengths i could measure & let you know if they are right you can have them gratis
Re: Longer dogbones - know your limitations - 13-07-12
Standard from centre of hole to centre of hole are 144mm.
My shorter ones were 140mm c to c and gave a 25mm increase in ride height.
General rule of thumb for lowering seems to be that each 5mm increase c2c over the standard 144mm equates to 25mm reduction in ride height and vice versa for raising/jacking up.

Jolly decent of you Paul,
Could do with lowering it by 45mm so if the centres are between 149 and 153mm were going in the right direction.Thanks for the info KYL
