   hi, i have read aloty of the threads about coilovers and whats crap n whats okay but can any1 recomend a good set of adjustables that do lower the car alot but at the same time are easily adjusted to noemal road use that are reliable?
   
   i could do with some, i have just cheap shocks and springs on the car now ( were on when i bought it) and there okay but they are 2 low at the front and too high at the back n the ride is... well... okay in a straight line on the flat but see a pothole n u feel u have just fallen through it

   Theres a few available. Really how much are you willing to spend though?

   im seeing what i can get at the mo thats reasonable but pretty descent quality n ride because if im going to do it im going to do it properly first time round i dont want to be replacing them again, better spend a bit more and get something good, also adjusts well to go low low!

   No such thing I am afraid. It is only the front on the Saxo that uses a standard strut. The rear is torsion bars. So even if you have easily adjustable front ride hight the rear would still involve stripping bits off the rear to pull the bars all the way out to reset them and then bolt the lot back together again. Not something you would want to do often.
