Lowering my car...

    Hi,

    I just had to get my rear axel replaced, the one that i had fitted has been lowered, looks about 30-40mm so i'm debating on dropping the front 35-40mm. What would be the best way to just drop the front? could i purchase just the springs and fit them in? or is it best to get the whole suspension kits that are around £200?

    Cheers

    this is the problem, i would want to spend as little as possible but without buying crap! so if i could keep it under £200 that would be nice! it would be awesome if i could just spend £60 and get the springs but i'm not sure if i can do that....

    if you put springs on normal shocks they wont last very long tbh
    your better off buying the kit

    the other option is, the person i got the axel off, he is selling his two front axels for £60, they have lowered springs on, could i just buy those? im not sure if he has different shocks on or anything though, and he isn't sure....
