Lowering a Mk1 1.2 8v

[JPandDeb]

Hello all,

I am after lowering my wife's mk1, ph1. It's a 1.2 8v and is sitting on a very nice (new) set of 15" TSWs. I don't want the car to look slammed... besides at this stage I have no intention of doing anything to the bodywork... just nicely lowered so it is not stilt like!!

Can someone recommend what mm to lower the car by, just to make it look nice...?

Also she wants a grunty exhaust... any recommendations there? Or is it best to keep existing exhaust and go with air filter?

Cheers in advance,

Jon (and Deb)
