   hey all, i was on kam and it say this kit. http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...saxo-1119.html brings you down 35mm but just the springs from this kit when sold on there own only bring it down 25mm on r/s's and 35mm on other sax's
   
   so how much does this kit actually lower?? as i dont want any lower than 25mm (personal choice).

   I have the 35mm kit from Kam Racing, and it has lowered it by 35mm. The kit from them only consists of 35mm or 45mm Apex springs, to get the 25mm springs, your better off talking to them to see if they can just swap over the 35mm springs for some 25mm ones (cant see it being a problem)
   
   PS - very good kit as well

   its a very good kit for the money, soft enough for the road, stiff enough for a small increase in handling on track. overall its a very well balanced kit

   the thing that is throwing me is the part number for the springs are the same.

   What do you get in that kit? Springs, front shocks, anything for the back? (Yes, I am a noob at lowering).

    Shocks for the rear too.
    
    It is decent kit at a good price, can be a bit bumpy but its lowered what do you expect
    Ring them up webby and ask.

    There is not a -25mm kit for the VTS
    Basically the -35mm kit lowers the lighter (smaller engined) cars less so they list it also as a -25mm kit
    Its the same part number for both....
    
    Kev

    ahh right ok its just confusing on the website as it say you can get just springs that lower 25mm. but the kit does state 35mm.
    
    why is that if they are the same springs?
