Can you get just the shocks and springs (not coilovers) that lower 50mm??

you can definitely get kits that lower your car by 60mm. You can always get kits that say 35-40mm and some companies do 60mm ones as well. I think Gmax does them , but wouldn't recommend them.

Can't wait to put on the coilovers now. Shame that this wont be until Xmas, because I couldn't afford to buy them from my own money, so they will have to be an Xmas present :cry:

Love that car

Cheers :)

Been thinking about removing the tints and in the new year either strip the rear of the car and roll cage it or have a show cage fitted (comments would be nice)

swales_p - As its been said coilovers are probably your best bet, at least then if you think you want it lower or even raise it then you can. If you buy a kit thats like a 30mm drop then you would have to go out and buy another set to lower it again.

I've got FK Highsports on mine and very please with them, handling is lovely specially on track!

I would recommend you coilovers..you can play with height..and you must drop Seat´s pretty much if you want them closer to road

Here is mine 120mm on 14"

Yeah, not cheap but they look ace. Not to mention they make the car safer if anything were to ever go wrong. And I have read that they also make the car stiffer. So after stripping it, it would be the ultimate 190BHP track toy :drool:

show cages do look very nice!

Maybe because there chunky and chrome? ;)

did I forget to mention shiney 2 :D

Show cage is just for show and wouldn't protect you when rolling, Roll cage would tho. Just wondering if I should remove my tints now because I'm bored of them.

Ibiza 95 - Sorry I can't comment on them because personally I never heard of them before, would rather save a little bit more and got for FK, AVO, Koni, etc.....

I'm swapping my H&R Cup suspension (not coilies) for FK High Sports as its too low. Thanks to my lovely local council its now impossible to drive anywhere from my house wihout driving over 10 speed bumps - the extra nasty angular ones.

The H&R kit has @ 40k on it but passed the last MOT fine. If anyone's wants it they're welcome to swap for a beer!
