Springs or Coilovers(advice needed)

[Dolan]

Hello I currently have 40mm spax suspension kit (dampers included) spent about £500 on this kit. I have decided to go lower to about 60 or 70 shall I buy some coilovers or just custom springs any advice would be good..

Here is a quick pic to see how high my car is sat.

For that amount of lowz (yo), you'll need coilovers imo.

Looking at getting fk highsport, they look like (at rear) its just a damper with adjustable spring?? What's the difference to my damper with a custom spring??

 

[mr.pink87]

The rear dampers will be shorter to give you more pretension on the springs. Long dampers and short springs may result in the spring saying goodbye on/after a speedbump.

Ah okay cool so cool thanks..

Coilovers always. You can pick up pretty cheap sets these days.

Loads of people don't recommend cheap ones.

FK highsports are decent and have a reasonable price.

Ok thank you for your help..

Get some lower profile tyres as well.

Those look too chunky for those wheels

Not too bouncy lol I have hard suspension now and thats bad, just something to get rid of the gap, I know this topic is covered loads but no body has said really what's best for a non sport 1.2

FK's are probably the only ones on the market that'll give you the drop you need, for a 1.2

100mm can be had on FK's i think.
