40mm Apex springs are the lowest you can go on a budget.

About £90 delivered iirc.

do you think if i put 17"s on will it look lower? (with the 30mm springs?)

These are the ONLY springs that you can buy that go 40mm lower. All the dearer springs only drop 25/35mm.

You have no choice my friend!! (i'll find a pic hold on...)

aha ohh...why would you sell that. lol

looks real nice

do you think with 17"s on with the 40mm drop would be okay? or would it rub? :S

 

[Daniel]

It won't rub but it will drive like a sack of s**t. It will tramline everywhere and be really crashy over bumps.

Stick with 16s imo.
