1.1 Lowering Questions

[Steve.]

I am in the dialema . . . do i just lower my car on standard shocks or do i buy coilovers? As with coilovers i could set it to around 30 for normal use then slam it for shows . . .

I want a drop of about 50mm, but dont want to spend loads because i need ti fitted aswell. What will be your decision. Should be keeping the car for another year maximum btw.

Any help and link to products would be great.

just get springs if you dont intend on keeping it.

coilovers are a bit ott. either way you still cant change the rear within a few mins.

I read on a site somewere anything upto 40mm is ok on standard shocks after that you will need uprated shocks
