Ok as to lowering what's the best ride comfort coilys or shortened dampers and springs?

Can anybody recommend me some cheap but good spacers.. And a noob question

If I got hubcentric spacers do I need to change my wheel bolts to longer ones or are these supplied or do standard bolts bolt into the spacer??

Get coilies  :grin: if you get springs, you will only regret it and want to go lower at a later date, happens to everyone on here! Plus those wheels would only look good on coilies, springs wont go low enough. Plus with the coilies you can fine adjust the height whenever you want, up or down by mm's at a time.

And hubcentric spacers bolt to your hub, then you bolt your wheel to the spacer. So 10 sets of bolts per wheel if that makes sense.
