   Hi guys ive recentely purchased my 1st car,,,got a saxo east coast in green V plate.
   
   It looks boring but insurance is costly for a student so had to get a low spec
   
   I want to lower it...what do i need to buy? and who will fit it? i want the front and back lowering to 50 mm
   
   Also what else would you suggest for making it look more like a VTR/VTS?
   
   Thanks..any comments appreciated

   Just need to change the springs on the front, and the rear is torsion bar, basically just a bar which sets the ride height, but i wouldnt attempt adjusting the torsion bar yourself. lol
   
   btw this is the wrong section, this topic needs to be in Saxo Brakes / Suspension / Transmission / Tyres

   If you want it to look more like a vtr/s you'd need to get a vt* bodykit. Don't cost much but then you'd have to pay for it to be resprayed unless you found one your colour and I'm guessing you could fit it yourself if not that's more expense. Also some vtr/s wheels. I will have 5 vtr wheels up for sale soon if you're interested.

   I'm refurbing them atm in white although I guess if you wanted a diff colour I could do that. Not sure how much I'll want but 3 have good tyres and two are on the limit so probs around £100.
