Hope you have no speed bumps where you live, or even tiny little cracks in the road cos 60mm is gonna slam it bad mofo stylee!

Another day...another problem...

its pretty flat round these yer parts, the only speedbump i know of leads to halfrauds (a good reason not to go there). Brickfoot - I may just do that! nice car btw, I wish i'd bought a cinq instead...

browsing through fastfiat.com i saw the spring set for the sporting at 75 quid. Are these any good?

Do i need to buy shocks too? Or do i simply replace the springs? Sorry im very new to this.

"Full set of lowered and uprated springs to suit the 'Sporting'. Lowers by up to 40mm."

to lower it, you only need the springs - you can leave the standard shocks in


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!

You can just do the springs but you may find the ride a bit funny. If it's a problem and you've got the money put them in later.

85% of Marea HLX drivers have speeding tickets.... lol they'll have to catch me first.
