thats about the rite price mte! as long as your shocks are good u got no worries, if u want to go lower the 40-50mm the colovers is the way forward, just watch u dont start hitting arb's!

I have had a few sets of coillies and i dont like em now, its not as easy as it sounds to wind them up and down. You have to clearcote them everytime you adjust the suspension and needs lots of servicing.

I have a 50mm drop on 19s and it does not catch

Shock and springs are the way, easy, low maintenance and smooooooth

gotta link to the spring kit your using? cant find any with a 50mm drop  :cry:

to clarify you have two parts

shocks and springs

if you buy the springs you use your existing shocks  :smiley:

same thing really BUT coilovers are one unit not seperate units so you get the shock and the spring combined although the rears are still seperate
