It seems from reading various threads that people tend to use King's or Koni's to lower the height. Are there any brands that from experience would suit lowering on the Clubman suspension? I don't think I would change the shocks, maybe just the springs to get it to sit a bit nicer.

Thanks.

Keep in mind the clubman suspension is probably getting a bit old.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Whilst they are only about 150 klms old I have found that my new eibachs work just great with my 2001 model bilsteins on my NB. Your clubman Bilsteins are quite a bit harder than mine though. FYI Bilsteins are supposed to still have 90% rebound efficiency at 200k.
98 NB8A, Mania CAI, Eibachs and Bilsteins, Whiteline brace, Starcorp's, DBA Slotted and asstd bling, FM butterfly brace. FFS coldside and the whiiiinnne. Now 138rwkw (Glory Run :) ) More with tuning.
