Just got my coilovers today putting them on on Saturday, don't wanna slam it cause I do drive down roads with some nasty speed bumps and I've got a VR splitter so thinking of dropping just 50mm or so.

Go 60 front 50 back.

Plus everyone that says cheap coilovers are harsh and sh!t have them slammed! Of course they will be sh!t. I ran mine at 40 front 30 back and thought they was awesome.
Then I dropped it right down and put on some stretched low profile tyres. That was a shock lol

Thanks for the advice mate. Running 50s tire wise all round and don't plan on going any lower with them. Might have to post some pics when it's done. Oh yeah and I went for cheap coilovers, only spent 800 on the car so not gonna spend half as much again on the suspension! Lol  :grin:
