Hi

I´m looking for a suspension kit for my VTS.

I´ve been looking at the Apex kits and I´m wondering if I should go for the 35mm kit or the 50mm kit.

Is the 50mm kit much stiffer than the 35mm kit, because if they are similar I will go for the 35mm kit.
I´m mainly looking for improved handling rather than looks.

Or should I stretch the bugdet and go for the 40mm Spax PSX?

35 looks to close to standard imo mate, go for the 50mm kit mines lowered 50 and looks well and doesnt worsen the suspension geometry or handilng mate :y:

35mm doesn't look close to standard. 35mm will be the best height for handling.
50mm does ruin the geometry ;)

35/40mm is for best handling
Gmax do a 40mm lowering kit...

they are bottom of the market i feel. Can get much better for the money

So would the 35mm Apex be the best value for money, they say it would be like 25mm lowering since I hava a VTS.

I use the car for daily use, so is it worth going for the Spax PSX? is that a stiffer kit ?

i would go for the 40mm apex kit personally. It is a great all round kit

Do they make a 40mm kit ?

they did, i have just checked on kam racing and they are listing 35mm setup. That will be spot on

I've got the '25mm' lowering on my VTS. It goes down about 35mm to be honest.

Looks fine.

35mm will be best for performance and 50mm for looks but its not that much diference in looks for altering your suspension geometry...
