    which kit?

    have chosen to get car lowered next because im fed up with big gap between arch and wheels. also shouldnt affect insurance either.

    i have £200 for new shocks/springs. jus wanted to know what kit i should go for? was hoping to lower bout 35mm, car is already pretty close to ground jus wanna lose some of the gap between arches.

    this is a pic of the rear gap. 35mm should be fine rite?? dont wanna go too low at moment.

    bilstien blacks are shockingly bad, extremly harsh, and nothing at all like their rally bred bigger brothers(the blue'n'yellows)
    id go for apex or koni for a softer ride. spax is also very harsh

    you dont want a harsh ride, cause every speedbump/pothole/stone yeilds a heartwrenching bang.
