   Well it depends on what alloys you have on your car, if your planning on keep the VTR wheels or upgrading to 15" alloys id say get it lowered by 50/60mm

   going to keep alloys at 15" also went to a garage today to ask about gettin it lowered and they said i have torso bars which means going to cost around 200 quid to do back and front plus wold have to buy the springs.

   Yep that quite high in price i would say, cause Nickynan on here brought his springs for around £80 from Kam-Racing and got them fitted and torsion lower all for around £200 (inc springs)
