I'm thinking of dropping mine 45mm, what brand springs did you use? Do you have the Website?
What size alloys are these aswell? :grin

Just springs mate and to be honest it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, even with 40 profile tyres. Handling is alot tighter too due to there being less bodyroll.

TBH mate if your handy on the tools and have a couple of hours spare, you can fit them yourself and save a packet on labour costs

You need a set of spring compressors, if you dont know how to use them be carefull or much pain may follow.

I'll vouch for that one, have had a couple of close scrapes in the past.
