What's the point in changing suspension now and then again when you have a proper lowering kit? You'll just be wasting money, better to save up for a proper kit and be done with it.

Gizmo... ive had 40mm on mine... its been jacked up and down god knows how many times and my shocks are fine... springs have done now close to 15k without any problems.... get some -30mm springs then if your that worried.... its only lower than 40mm where your going to have problems after a few months.

Bullshit! My old Corsa was lowered 35mm on standard shocks for over 2 years and had no problems except one dead shock absorber, but it was like that before I lowered it! Jacked my car up loads of times, they never fell out from the back!

Why not go for their Apex kit? It's just over £200-odd, lowers you 40mm on uprated springs and shocks!

Gizmo... pull that fuckin sunstrip off.. remove those pods as you dont need them, and bin those tacky seat belt REVS pads and start doing things properly.

If your going to do something with your car at least do it right
