suspensions lowering

[jonnyjogpants]

quite a few people have said about different kits. i wanna buy a suspension kit springs and shocks, depending on the price maybe adjustable dampers too. i wanna lower it say 40mm.

which make should i buy or should i save and buy kf coilovers. never modded a car before so i wanna do it right first time but dont wanna spend a bomb on me motor.

can you modders help a virgin modder hehehe

been looking at Gmax, apex, koni, and spax which should i buy ???????

GET COILY'S. fk's are good vfm

apex suspension kit imo unless you want to go really low or have adjustiablity coilovers aren't needed.

i bought the koni 35mm kit which was a lovely kit for the price, but just didnt lower the car enough (as i have 15s on lower profile tyres)

if you know you deffo want a 40mm drop then you may as well go for the koni/apex kit, however the handling is so much better on coilovers its worth paying the extra. FK's are only 445

still don't know what size wheels i want, not sure if i want 16 or 17s

im not sure i want

 

[jonnyjogpants]

but some people are saying that you buy the kit and it does'nt lower it enough i think 40mm is enough really on 16s

personally i'd put 14 or 15" wheels on it with coilovers and uprate the brakes, considering the engine size this will make it surprising on twisty roads ect.

Go with the Apex 40mmor so kit then its quite cheap and good value.
personally I'd spend it all on suspension its makes the biggest difference. FK coilovers then if you have some spare some Cup alloys or similar light weight alloys no bigger than 16 though personally.

great minds LOL

You don't need camber correction bolts.

 

[jonnyjogpants]

depends on the kit some have a maens to adjust built in, some just don't need it. you do need to get it checked tho, and the toe setting
