Im thinking to lower it. What do you guys use? 

Coils? Springs?

I had coil overs but they were cheapy ones so the ride was pretty harsh, so much so I went back to stock, others have always said if going for coilovers spend money and get a decent set

Depends how low you want to go,  lowered spring will be fine for little lows, will need coilovers if very low.

couple of bags of cement in boot and find a fat bird for passenger seat.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Why stop there, let the tyres down a bit too to find some extra mm's

I think I'll pass the fat bird!

Lowered cabbies with some setup specs will be fine! :)

How low do you want to go? More than 60mm will require coil overs.

My cabby has stock suspension, with 13's on it. I have 15x7,5j for it…

I'm guessing that 60mm is enough!!
