Hi there,
Ive just become the proud owner of a year 2000 6n2 colour concept.
its a gorgeous car and i dont plan to do alot to it in the way of modifying it but i am looking into lowering it on FK highsport coilovers.
One thing ive noticed is how smooth the car is to drive,
how much effect of this will lowering it have, a considerable amount?
(im looking at a 50-60mm drop)
cheers,

Welcome, nice one for finding a Colour Concept!
Coilovers definately transform the handling and make the car feel more firm, and obviously they enhance the looks, the ride does become harsher though but it doesn't bother me personally.
I quite like the way the car looks as it bumps along down the road
Btw, your car's a mk5 if it's 6n2 so probably best posting in that section... but not that it makes much difference

cheers for teh feedback guys,
apparently the wheels are standard on most or all colour concepts.
im not sure whether to keep them or change them for a set of ASA AR1s, the black ones with polished rims
