   not necessarily getting any yet, but i would like people to tell me whats the best to get for my car.
   
   would want it to handle well on track, minimise body roll etc. but still have a comfortable ride.
   
   would want to lower no more than 40 either
   
   suggestions please

   Depends really on your budget? Take it you want a full thing rather than springs?

   i dont know. i dont know the kind of prices involved.
   
   so if you give me some examples, it would be better, then i can decide from there
   
   just springs? would probably want a good set up. so more than just springs isnt it..

   billies are cool, i would of said get the group n kit tho
   
   whats the other kit, is it sprintline? personally i cant comment on any other kits really, ive only ever had gmax and billies, no complaints about any of those, again i cant really comment on springs due to ive only had g max and faulkners custom
   
   your welcome to have a spin in mine at any point to see how it feels tho, you have felt it with me driving so you know what its like
   
   but then it all comes down to budget, what i would do tho is go for polly engine mounts and bushes what ever kit you go for

   The kit we have had the best feedback from is our Bilstein group N and 150lb faulkner spring combination. Its a top end road/track setup rather than balls out track stuff.
   The Bilstein B8 dampers are good too, though if combined with Eibachs will be a little soft for the track. Infact most road springs will be a bit soft for track use being around 130lb

   higher poundage spring viper mean stiffer
   
   a good thing going billies and spending more though, you will always have a buyer for them if you split again. as yates#2 said. some bushes aswell

    apex 35mm kit is meant to be good for the money
    
    rate my konis highly but pricey new tbh
    
    better off getting billie group n's for few extra. But sure the apex kit is £168 delivered
    
    also the bushes are good, you notice them when fitted but get used to them. Bit vibraty but i love it
