Hello everyone, I need advice on which suspension to choose.
First of all I want you to keep in mind that I use my car in Greece, where the roads tend to be repaired rarely, and the car has to be a little higher to be decently drivable..
Since last November it is lowered 40mm on "OSRAV" shocks and "MAD" springs (I assume you ve never heard of them, anyway they re both made in Italy).
In the beginning the ride was OK. After a few weeks the car sat into its final height and since then its undrivable with 4 people, its bangs very badly.
Anyway this is the place where I can get the best advice.
My options are :
1)Return to standard suspension comfy ride, but make the car ugly again (~500 euros)
2) KW coilovers, I would like to be able to lower it 20mm-40mm (~1000 euros)
3)steinmetz suspension (30mm) (~800 euros)

thanks on advance

Adam thanks for your opinion.
I also think of installing coilovers. I know that you can get very low with them, thing is : can you go only - 20mm with them?
