This should really be in the 'Suspension, brakes, wheels & tyres' section

To answer your question in your short, lowering the car on standard springs will effect it's ride quality. However, a small drop won't be too noticable.

A lot of people have mentioned the poor ride quality the Apex springs seem to give the car.

how do you lower a car on standard springs :rasp:

apex have been known for being abit bumper,
(i have them, and think theyre fine tbh)

your always going to loose comfort when lowering,
its just a case of how much,

eibach sportlines i have heard offers a good compromise,
they only lower 30mm tho

You can lower on standard springs, by chopping them down! Obviously I'd never do this and would advise others away from it too. Don't want to open a can of worms on that topic, though.

But yes, I meant shocks

And Sportlines are 20mm front and 15mm rear?
