Default Lowering Suspension??

I was just wondering what is the best suspension to use for a saxo 1996/7 model 1.4 Sx?
just got the car about a week ago and want to stick 15" alloys on it and lower it about 30 mm?
cheers
Ben

The best is the best you can afford.

You can lower it by putting different springs on the front and adjusting the rear torsion bar which will work out cheaper,

Or you can buy a full suspension kit, which will involve you upgrading also the front shocks and rear dampers, the best kit being the highest one you can afford, this is the recommended option as it will have a big impact on both handling and the reliability of your car

for normal road use, -30mm springs are fine, and then obv lower torsion bars to match
