Reccommendation: Eibach sportline springs, 45-50mm, from kamracing, 100 quid i think, top quality spring !

buy dampers then, im only suggesting a spring to get, yes should get shocks on top, but its an extra 300 dollar !

Money is not going to be an issue at the moment as its just been my bday so i have come into some money! have around £300-£400 to blow. so looks like the full kit it is! so what you reckon lowered by 50 or 35????

well what do you rekon, both above are -50 on the eibach kit, personally i think 35mm is not low enough !

Here are some kits to look at !

heres the link, top quality stuff this !

only one better is with the group n shocks, but thats a little more expensive, but i dont think any other set-up beats these two realy..IMO

the rides better than standard and is very comfy, speed bumps are no problem really, you always have to over speedbumps with a lowered car.

i'm down 60mm and it's not bad whem i'm in alone just when i use it for work i want it abit more confortable. Not sure if 45-50 will make much a difference compaired to eibach pro (however u spell it ) at about 35-40 drop.

i knew id be like that thats why i went down 50.

clone, it will probably be a lot better than down 60, you do have to go fairly slow, like saxoboy said, you have to go slow with any lowered car !

If your unsure get some cheap springs for the time being see how you like it

Then if you want to go lower get a good lower suspension set-up

I went 40mm on cheap springs now i'm going 50mm on a good set-up
