Walking back to the car earlier in the car park and realised how bad it needs lowering :)

Just been reading through some threads and I think I'm gonna play it safe and get 40mm all round and just get the springs as im on abit of a budget

Anyone recommend me any fairly decent springs?

These are 50mm springs but they are brand new in at Kam Racing and are meant to be good springs as long as you don't take piss out of your car daily!

Otherwise Spax do some 40mm ones i think you'll probably find some on ebay easily enough!

Yeah mate, theres one set on ebay at the moment, price is roughly the same to buy it now unless you fancy bidding, but postage is cheaper anyway so it'll save you a few quid on that alone

Pretty much the same price as those Apex ones i mentioned in the first post, i think they're probably slightly better than the Spax ones but then again don't hold me to that! I do know that Kam Racing wouldn't stock shit parts though lol

The Apex ones are the springs that Bilstein offer to go with their dampers. They say these are better than the old springs they had

We havent had a chance to look at discounting for this year but we will be sorting some premium member deals after the Autosport show

Just about to order the Spax ones (posted above) but are there any other 40mm springs I should consider that are roughly the same price before I buy 'em?

Will only be buying the springs so don't want to go lower than 40mm either..

I think it will either be the Spax ones or these (http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?id=3665515)
