IMHO Tein coilovers are the best you can get albeit v. expensive. Dropping the car 40~60mm will cause you more problems than it's worth (speed bumps, pavements, rubbish left on the road). Another "negative" of dropping it that much is that the camber will be way off and difficult to adjust to that level. I would suggest you drop the car no more than 30mm and go for bigger wheels to fill the arches. 18" max if you value the ride quality, 19" if you don't ... ;)

Thanks Danny - 30mm Drop Ok...i Was Told Tien Are The One's To Go For, But I Am Open To Suggestions From Your Good Selves....where Is A Good Place To Order Them From ?

For Teins gimmie a shout and i'll price you up, be warned though they aint cheap ;)

Thanks Chris, As I Said Before I'm Open To Suggestions, But I Want Good Stuff But, Try To Keep The Price To A Resonable Level, But I Will Phone You Later, If That's Ok

Fitted 35mm lowering springs last week and i never noticed much difference. :( Hopefully a set of 18s will fill the arch a bit better.

thanks scotty..

I have Tein suspension fitted and lowered alot. Its great for handling but not good for your back on long motorway drives... nodding dog syndrome ! and not nice on crappy country lanes but as its a second car for me its not a problem. I wouldn't want it one for every day use. However the point made ealrier about the negative camber is very valid. The inside of my fronts have disintegrated while there is stil 4-5m tread on the outside, wasn't helped by knackered tension rods bushes but i think a camber correction kit or adjustable link arms are first on my shopping lift. If your going to lower it that far invest in the camber kit at the same time.
