coilovers or springs and how low?

[kinsey_89]

New to the forum so hi all.
Just got myself an 03 1.4 dynamique and the first thing to do is get her low.
Ive had a look through previous threads and just want to know what you think; how low to go? Im thinking 40-60mm, im gonna be doin a fair amount of milage, mostly motorway for travelling home from uni etc.

Then secondly; coilovers or springs? I would rather go coilovers but ive got a budget, have been looking at AP coilovers sets which come in at £325 which seem pretty good, and about as much as i have to spend. Or should i just drop it 50mm on some decent springs?
cheers

Best springs - Eibach sportlines & will lowere ROUGHLY 40mm (give or take a few MM). If you go any lower than this you will need shorter dampers as the ride will be rubbish ( I ran 60mm springs on std dampers and the ride was aweful on my old 1.2).

I would say any lower than 40mm - get coilovers... Depends what you want and how much moolah you have.
