Re: Are these any good

They're pretty good but seem a little expensive! I'm sure I've seen those kits for around £75-80! Will try & find some links & post back.

Re: Are these any good

They look alright to me, personally i favour a few more mm's lower, but thats personal preference.

Just wait a few hours and you'll have everyone ranting about you should get eibachs!

Re: Are these any good

Well im running a 50/40 drop (50mm front, 40mm rear) with 17's and ive never had so much of a hint of rubbing, you do have to be a bit more careful when it comes to speed bumps tho.........which is worth considering.

Re: Are these any good

Anyone know of a source of uprated springs that don't lower the car ?

Personally I think the car is low enough as it is and just want to improve the handling.....

The only thing you could do is fit coilovers and have them on the highest setting, or the setting closest to stock height

They're pricey though.

Don't look at springs then mate, get a strut brace & some uprated anti-roll bars!
