Insurance is due for renewal soon, so i can join a mod friendly company and lower my car.

Im on a bit of a budget so im not looking to spend more than £300, less if possible.

What out of the following 3 choices would be better (in terms of ride comfort/handling)

1. APEX Sport Suspension Kits £260
2. VMaxx Ride Height Coilovers £300
3. Bilstein Streetline Suspension Kit £180

Cheers

No it's not it's a perfectly acceptable amount

Yes I did the same thing well I got the Sprintline kit (older model I think) for around that price, well worth it tho imo, still fairly comfy and much more stable than standard

Don't worry about that

I've had 2 different exhausts at £200 each Wheels were £630 too Without tyres

I've spent 150% the value of the car when I bought it 2 1/2 years ago, plenty more planned too
