spax vsx kit is good, tho as a cheap option buy springs and lower it 40mm

as above but wouldn't lower any more than 40mm if you want improved handling and more than that and its for looks and not performance mate!

Not springs but lower at and get a trut brace as that will help with the handling side.

Don't know what that is supposed to say haha bad typing. My car was already lowered so I did not choose how much to lower it buy but mine is 50/60 and think it sticks to the road like glue. 40mil maybe better to lower for handling but I did not research this so I do not know but I would say 50mil. For the handling also get a strut brace if you have not already got one. I have spax on mine (90% sure) and think they are very good.

Strut braces will help with handling, depends how much you have to spend Dan to see which kit would be best.

I disagree with ppl sayin that more than 40mm is just for looks, mine is 100mm and handles loads better than my old vtr which was 40mm, although having had both I would recemend 40mm, depending on how good you want the handling Spax Ride adjustable are good, on the other hand Coilovers for the best handling.

100mm is good handling though if you dont believe me Ill be at TRAX as me for a spin ;-) Ill prove it!
