That's a pretty specific request :grin:

What drop are the h&r springs? In all honestly I'd go for coilovers.

Here is mine when it was on 30mm springs:

Then coilovers and R32 wheels - about a 45-50mm drop:

Then CH's with about the same drop:

There 35mil buddy so not much of a drop hopefully nearer 40 when settled
I do admit i like the coilover option and i love lowered cars but this time i drew the line at if i spend less on suspension ill have more budget for wheels
Coilovers - ajustable drop links and different arb ? and i would have to get budget coilovers even so pushing it right near £300 i would imagine which would ruin my wheel budget lol
out of interest what coilovers did you have

I ran JOMs - in the pictures above I was running standard ARB and drop links. You can pick JOMs up for about £150 and that's all you'd need :wink:

What you really want is air :grin:

Fair enough, do see alot of people saying to change arb, droplinks etc seemed like the norm

You'll only run into arb issues when going lower than about 50mm :wink:
