    I have recently purchased a set of lowering springs, they are Koni springs and I'm looking at a drop of around 35mm,

    Bit of an impulse buy but its making me get on with my plans for the car.

    I'm looking at changing the front shocks at the same time and from what I've read people recommend changing the shocks when using these springs.

    Just didn't know what to go for. Don't want to spend silly money as its only a 1.1 but don't want to cut corners at the same time,

    If you could post some links it would also be a great help

    I only need the front shocks as i already have a set of Koni Rear shocks, i guess it makes sense to get Koni front shocks aswell?

    Just dont know which ones to choose that will go best with my springs

    hello mate...
    bilstien if ya got the money
    apex if ya haven't
    steer well clear of g-max....they are lethal!
    also i think g.s.f carry a cheap but uprated damper if that helps
    if ya drive hard....get an upper and lower strut brace.....its like you hit a "go-kart" switch.....if you shop around you can get em both for about 100-120 quid
