Thanks for the pics andy.

What i ment is it better to just get coilovers instead of springs cos i dont really know what height to go

BHP, TORQUE, UNDER STEER, OVERSTEER FOR DUMMYS
BHP- how fast you hit the wall, TORQUE- how far you push the wall
OVER STEER- Dont see the wall, UNDER STEER- You do see it

If you just want a subtle drop and aren't bothered about serious handling, then the springs are a great way as it's cheap and looks fine. Can't find Stevie's thread but there were some good before and after pics of his car.

If you want to go really low and have the option to adjust damping then you'll need coilovers..........if the cost isn't an issue then coilovers are probably the way to go.

All boils down to cost as said above, if you ain't bothered about spending 5-6 hundred quid the get coilovers but if your on a budget then springs are the way to go, alothough you will have to pay to have them fitted unless you have clamps and can do it yourself of know someone who can, I onlt went for springs as I couldn't afford coilovers but they are still on the very long list.:biggrin:
