What kit would you recommend i only ever had g max on my 2 b's i had and a cheap set of coilys which i didnt even fit

yer 30/40mm would be better, im alot lower and it handles realy well but ive just sacrificed the comfort abit..

i just think that extra -20mm would help the looks alot more, plus most kits come in 60mm aswell so easily can get...

not sure on what kit mate, if your going for a budget just go for the 60mm gmax springs n shocks kit

most people will probs say the bilstien b10 kit, think thats a 30mm kit standard, but im sure you could ask them to put it with a 60mm spring kit if wanted.

and yer no problem (doing the photoshops)

Maybe some eibach pro springs to go with your existing shocks if you're after a slight drop. Also a high power black on the wheels, the yellow wouldn't suit in my opinion.

-60mm for comfort, stfu ud feel a 5p if u ran over it lowered -60mm

how is your photoshop accurate to -60mm please?

matt, the black with yellow pinstripe idea sounds ace - as for suspesion ID suggest -40mm for comfort, check what the corsa-c.co.uk gayboys are using suspension wise though....

You can buy my Irmy springs off me and swap cash and your standard springs for them!

They're -30mm and help improve the handling, aesthetics and didn't really affect the ride quality tbh!

Iv got to decide wether to go 30/40mm or just deck it if im going to go 60mm might as well go all the way, im still undecided wether to go black with pin stripe or not sort of like the red car but with yellow stripe, mk4 that picture is ace does make me want to lower it alot more then 30mm the wheels look good to any chance you could have ago at the pin stripe design
