If your not that bothered about amazing handling, FK AK will give you a good drop for £200. If you dont have £200 then get some 50mm Spax. Want good handling then get some 50/40 eibachs. But apparently more like 40 on the front.

Been talking to my mechainc he said the shocks will last ages with springs on so the plan is get 60mm on the front and 40mm or 50m on the back....

And going back a while i removed a bump strip. with hot water , fishing line and wd40 and halfords glue remover, and it took the lauqer off the car according to halfords, and i will be attemping the other side tomorrow weather permitting , ive heards lots of stuff tar remover, petrol, glue remover , wd40, white spirit



But i have one of these toffee wheel ive used it abit and not sure how to postion it on the glue as never used one properly... as dnt wana mess up the other side to as there are a lot of shows coming up and dnt wana look like a prat

50mm drop is 100% fine u can still get over speedbumps and ride quality is fine. 50mm drop is way better than spending money on 35mm lowering springs which is a a waste of time. Mines is dropped 50mm and more than happy. Car dose not body roll either handles like a go-cart. Stick to the 50mm drop otherwise u just going have problems like my m8s c2 GT dropped lower than 50mm hit a pothole other day due to the bad weather we had BANG £350+ damage. and he wasnt even tanking it about. He has £1000 Koni Coilover setup for track day use.

im gettin quite pi**ed off tbh i want lowering springs or coilovers , ive been told 50mm on the back my car will be to low and rub also ,50mm on the front will still be high as the engine isnt that heavy

50mm dose not scrub i have 2 m8s back mine totally fine just remove the middle seat belt so u can say only take 2 people. ive got 15" alloys with 50mm profile. Easy job done .
