Cheapest you'll manage to lower the car inc parts & labour will be £300ish...Unless you know how to do it yourself

thats if u want the full works which is coil overs? if u just get springs the lowest u can go is 60mm, thats wot i have, an my springs cost 110quid an im fittin them myself

mmm i think i would give a crack at doing it myself,
i saw springs on sale on ebay at some point, going for like £30..

does anyone know if its just a case of fitting new springs, or do i need a whole new set of shox's?

the tyre's and rims are 15x 37 offset, 195/45/15r 78

i dont wanna go mad low nor do i wanna do it my like 1 mm..

btw i ended up replacing the doors,, got both for £80, and fitted them my self..

If you're gonna be doing it yourself then it will be fairly cheap. As you said springs are fairly cheap from ebay...

but it would be wise to get new shocks too...

Im diggin the numberplate dude!

i got told regarding my lowering, if your gona go more then 50mm get some more shocks as well, all i did with mine was change the bumpstops a bit and my ride seems completly fine

looks cool man lowering would only enhance it

yeah ive been ridin now for years, recently ive been riden less regularly tho.

where you from mate? impressed that you ride for wethepeople!
