cheap full kit is better than set of expensive springs.

full kit makes huge difference!

im on 15s with 60mm drop, deff worth the extra for full kit, speed bumps are not gud thou, cought the cat a few times on driveways 2

I am down 60mm on 15"s, pretty damn bumpy but when you throw it into a corner and it takes it like its glued to the road then you can cope with the bumps.

i got apex 40mm kit on me car and have got no complaints at all handeling is much better.

also handeling is better than me mates car who has 40mm apex springs only so i would def recomend getting the shocks too

Apex kit for £214 in PVD Catalouge not sure how good though?

my car is lowered 40mm with 15's and seems bumpy but better handling.

Bilsteins are top kit matey

wot u people think of bilsteins? gonna go for the full kit but not sure.

Nah they are fine they get a bit annoying when it is lowered cos you do have to go slower or you loosen your brain as the ride is a lot harder. fun takin corners at 40 though like a go cart

speed bumps shouldn't be a prob m8

ne problems wiv speed bumps wiv it lowered 30mm or 40mm? coz my area is surrounded by the annoyin things n i dunno wether to have it lowered

yeah...
agree with CorSRi_BT.
but i recommend getting the whole suspension done.

I've just gone back to standard springs with 17s ready to sell the car but before it was lowered 40mm on Eibach with standard shocks. Ride was bumpier but it cornered much much better and steering response was sharper, i can't believe how boaty it is now.

I would suggest that you get a springs and shocks set because i had to replace my standard rear shocks after only 31000 miles because of the extra pressure on them with the lowering springs.

I agree - the rides a lot harder with the Eibach full kit, but the lowered car makes handling a heck of a lot better.

I have 30mm Eibach springs on standard dampers. There is far less body roll and it feels more controllable. Bit more crashy over the bumps though.

Did you notice a difference in handling when you put your springs on? Ta :thumbs:
