Im looking to lower my car now, and have enough money for some springs, is it best to go for a 40mm drop if im going to just use springs and later have 16" Alloys.
Or a 60mm perhaps? or would the shocks need replacing alot sooner.
And also wanted to know if you can use origional bump stops or do you have to use aftermarket ones(i have no idea about bumpstops lol).
Help appreciated
Thanks
Adam

Get shocks at the same time. But 60mm springs on standard shocks will be ok for a while, just bouncy

for a while?
What do you mean, that the shocks won't work after a while?
