   I've never heard of Beta, but the Spax kit is good if youre on a budget, depends what you are using the car for?

   £250 including fitting?
   
   I have the apex 35mm kit on offer at kamracing (£190)
   
   then i got it fitted for £130 (torsion bar needs doing professionally)

   Cant go wrong with the APEX kit at all then, get the 50mm kit and get it lowered 60mm at the back.
   
   As for fitting, theres a few chaps on this forum who fit kits/lower torsion bars for good prices in your area. Post in your region when you've got the kit.

   I think the 35mm kit sits just right -

   I'd agree with you, but this chaps got a Furio thats just for road use, chances are he'll only want it lower once its been done!

    nah once its lower than it is standard im happy, all i want is to lower it enough there is not loads of space between wheel and arch, just to give it that bit nicer look and maybe beta handling. i think i wanna get a 40mm kit, and fitted by some1 who may know how. its just finded some1.
    cheers for all the help and advise
