   car: VTR mark 2
   
   what would i need to get a good firm stance on my saxo looking at 50mm . Its lowered 40mm atm but just not low enough, im going to be running on 205 gti 15" alloys will it sit or rub?, heard any lower than 40mm and u need to look at shocks or dampers?
   
   bit of a novice, any advice wud be appreciated!
   
   had my eye on the 50mm lowering kit at kam racing.

   £150 would buy enough bricks to lower the back lol.
   
   You will only really need front shocks and new springs, looking at £200 at least i think.

    If the budget is tight then I would get a decent quality set of springs rather than a really cheap budget spring/damper combo
