really depends on other factors such as tyres, and if you want to sell your wheels on.

if your wheels/tyres are good then it might be worth selling them whilst they're good. if you are planning on lowering then it wont really matter what order you do it, because ultimately it'll get done. the only thing is that it'll look a tad silly for a few months

Lower the car.

A would lower it first in my opinion, a think it is one of the best mods ya can do to ya car

ive been looking at spax or koni suspension with ajustable dampers soft/hard thingy any other suggestions only thinking of around 40mm though.

if its got 15s on it already keep them and lower it 60mm on the apex kit, if not id get 16s first then lower it 60mm on the apex kit

i heard apex is not very good but is better than gmax

 

[M1TCH]

as I've always thought for your basic suspension stuff it goes gmax, P.I, spax, apex etc....

anyway I say GET LOW first!

 

[jonnyjogpants]

can anyone list the brands order of suspension and could say agree disagree i really wanna do lower it but unsure now by how much

Fk coilovere £500 or so.
Apex springs and shocks setups are cheaper £300 and great value.

dont really wanna spend 500 bit too steep just wanna lower it with fixed shocks with maybe adjustable dampers to have a harder or softer ride

what should i get apex spax koni should i bother with the damper thingy is it worth spending that extra 100 quid for this extra.... i only have a 1.2 so i dont think it would be worth spending that money on coilovers

110% lower it first, let it settle for a couple of months. Then buy rims.

if you lower more than 40mm get matching shocks! If you want the lowered looks get 60mm drop on 16's

 

[jonnyjogpants]

for a 60mm kit which is best

many thanks
should i get a adjustable kit or fixed dampers
