   Just wondering what anyone would recommend as the best make of suspension to fit - value for money and quality. I'm looking to lower all around by around 35mm so obviously need front and rear shocks and front springs - can't afford coils so not even looking at them!
   
   Thanks

   I'm waiting for a tax rebate at the moment so can't really afford to do anything until that comes through. I'll probably be spending between £200-£300 i guess because i want to get a decent set. Found this:

   but don't really have any idea if that's a reasonable price for the make or if i could get a similar drop for less money?
   
   Ashley - how much was the set you put the link up for?

   i personally wouldnt pay that little for coilovers. from my understanding if theyre the real deal, decent coilover set ups are very expensive

   ash sorry to be a knob but for sale rules are there for a reason
   try not to drop them into general forums please
   
   
   as for that coilover kit its a crap kit and in that link is twice the price it normally is
   i had it for 2 weeks and it is horriffic tbh
   
   i would go for either an apex or spax kit if you cant afford a higher spec setup
   ive had both and there very good

   I agree with alex aswel, if its for fast road use then either spax or apex is fine
