thinking about lowering my car with springs 30-35mm what are the pros and cons of doing this
-
you can buy new coilovers for 150,160 quid id just buy them as in the long run you will want to go lower as even with a 35 mm drop its still as high as a 4x4

Honest answer - waste of time buy coilovers. DPM performance have offers £150 delivered on ukmkivs. Job done.

Pros
- Relatively cheap
Cons
- Paired with standard shocks they will provide a crap ride.
- Shocks will wear prematurely
- Fixed height
- Don't go low enough
- You'll wish you'd bought coilovers
so whats the lowest and highest i can go on coilovers
That depends entirely on the coilovers you buy, although most lower ~30-80mm
-
+1 on what doms said.
pros on lowering springs WITH matching shocks
better ride quality than coilovers(less harsh)
depends what you want, few hundred and you could have a really good set of springs and shocks.
400-500 and you could have a really good set of coilys such as weitech ect,
-
If your going to fit springs then go for a matched spring / shock kit.
Try and avoid cheap coilovers
