Don’t forget to add the 10 - 20 quid for wheel alignment... an essential part of any lowering. Unless you want your tyres to wear unevenly.

BTW your money will be well spent on Koni springs... IMO there is a better ride quality than the spax.

No-one replying? As i said currently on 17" arays, although my arches still look huge!! Should I buy Eibach Pro-Kit , Cobra or Spax springs? Im guessing thats all i need to buy then its just a matter of getting them fitted?

Any recommendations on the type of spring to get, looking at cost-efficiency and quality?
