A few weeks back I ordered the

They are a bit of hard work to fit for an amateur and took about 4 or 5 hours as we didn't know what we were doing but we managed and it saved me some cash :D

Not too much of a noticeable difference in ride height, in hindsight I would have lowered it 40mm but I was scared of scraping the bumper on anything. I've not had any problems scratching anywhere after lowering it and the handling is great just a bit harder on speed bumps as expected.


(Stock on left and lowering springs on right)




What do you guys think?

Admit it, you've done nothing other than add some bags of cement to the boot have you? :mrgreen: :lol

Looks good mate, there is a noticeable difference in the gap between the wheel and arch in the 'after' photo's. TBH, any lower and it may look a little too much ............

Haha I've been exposed by the first response lol!

Yeah I know what you mean with it probably being too much with any more. I think its probably just cause I spent about 170 quid and 4 hours I wanted it to stand out but its probably a good height :)

Also make sure you take some before pictures and measurements androo so you can show us the difference!!

Thanks Macker, I've heard mixed opinions were people think it shouldn't affect it and others said it should be checked out.

M@, that is a great price, you must have some good contacts to get that price!!
