From my limited knowledge on this subject anything over 40mm and you will also need new dampers. Could someone confirm?

thats you're best bet as the standard shocks will run out of talent very quickly indeed

why not go for the JOM Spring & Shock combo for a 40mm drop or are you dead set on a 50mm drop in which case you should go for coilovers

+1 always best to fit new shocks with lowering springs.

its just im not sure if 40mm will be low enough which is why i was looking at 50, looks like for the extra 10mm it will be a tad expensive

i was thinking of getting the APEX 45mm Springs and shocks kit. but so many people are talking about the JOM kit. is it actually good because i dont really like/trust JOM stuff

Even with 40mm your pushing you luck, and has Rhyso said, they will soon die on you if you JUST add the lower springs to your standard dampers.

VERY sound idea if you ask me.

£400 for a set of Weitecs??

Buy cheap - buy twice

i'd save a few more quid and do it properly
