   Hi,
   
   I'm thinking of getting these Alloys for my Black Saxo VTR.
   They are Lenso BSX 15" 7.0 in Silver, with streached tyres.
   
   
   
   So what do you think of these then? You think it would give it a good look?
   
   
   What suspension Kit would I need? I currently have just springs on the front. I know I would need a new suspension kit dampers and springs for front and torsion bar lowered and dampers. My suspension is currently 40mm all round.

   im assuming you want to go euro then
   
   get 14x8 wheels
   
   lower it on coilovers so you can get it down about 80mm
   and lower the rear to match

   best bet is a setup like pugsports with some softish faulkners (sorta 155lb)
   with an 8" spring so you an wind up a bit

   Them suspension parts you mention can they go lower than 70mm. Unsure of how low yet.

   that setup will be capable of around 100mm down up front easily
   
   prolly around 50mm down ath there highest
   
   gmc will sell the coils and spring pans
   dampers you can choose (i would say some group n billies personally)
   and the springs i think the best et is to get in touch with faulkner themselves

   I can't afford it all in one go. It suspension holding me back at the moment. I will get that.
   I want a ajustable suspension, I know that is top spec. What's the next stage down.
