Title: 40/40, 60/40, 60/60............???
Post by: HuwMk2 on 16 June 2007, 00:18: Which suspension kit??? Was thinking budget coilies but was advised that a spring/shock kit might be better for around the Ã‚£250-300 mark. Got a 1991 8v that I want to lower but cannot decide by how much? Don't want it too low but an improved look sitting on 15" BBS RM's is the aim. Which kit? Lowered by how much? I was thinking 40/40? Look forward to your thoughts/opinions. Pics of cars with various kits/heights appreciated. Cheers, Huw.

If you have got the money then fine, but shocks and springs do exactly the same for a fraction of the price.
More money to spend on other bits !! :grin: :grin:
