have to say it looks awesome that low.
i dont think i could go that low at the front cos ive got 17"s. it rubs on full lock at the minute but im thinking of trying thosespring cups to lower it that bit more. will be in the money soon, found my dads old jaguar e-type gearbox and other parts in the garage and he says we can split them 50/50 so theyre going on ebay in the next couple of days.

looks like you got people sat in there... but you havent

thats the idea...actually ive got 6, 20stone dwarfs in the boot and three sharks on the back seat.

What are spring cups? the things that go at the top of the suspension insde the car? i.e shorter rubber buff things?
Just get some fk coilovers you can get em for aourn 275 now the budget ones i think.

it varies based on, whether theyre just ride height adjustable, or ride height and damping...then theres if there stainless and dont rust or not...or if theyre not damping adjustable then how good are the springs etc..how much are they upraated...etc etc..normaly non damping adjustable ones claim to have 30% increased damping anyway.

I meant a wide range of prices per particular suspension. Like if I'm comparing prices of a particular specific set i wanna buy sometimes the prices difference is huge between different companies

someone mentioned them to lower your car hat extra 10mm-15mm i think they go a the top of the spring underneath the wing... have littl idea to be honest but might give em a try anyway, someone mentioned they were only 15 pounds aset too which cant be bad...

unless they break i suppose then i guess it could be pretty bad, fatal? who knows

basicly theyre shorter bump stops then, but if u get shorter ones then i might a bit bumpier as theres less rubber to absorb the pounding? Give it a go ive seen them advertised in pvw for golfs etc.

jenk, if i hammer it il get some scrubbage..but that means reallly giving it some round the bends!
