   hey all, when i eventually lower my car on 40mm Spax Springs, I just want to know what else do I need, for example shocks, absorbers?

   You can use standard shocks if you want
   
   Best idea to get shortened ones though mate

   they are designed to be used with the lowering springs where as the standards are designed for the standard springs. They will perform alot better....saying that I am down 40 on standard and its fine!! so far.....

   Unfortunately they are cheap when it comes to tuning or cars as a hole, it's just cars costs a heck of a lot to do anything to.

    if your buying spax springs you could just buy the whole spax suspension kit! rather than doing it seperately....will save you a bit of ££ i think....
