   just bumping the post mate lol
   
   i wanna go lower than 45mm because to me its too high, i was thinking 60mm on front, and 45/50mm on back (as i have subs which weigh the back down alot)
   
   would 60mm be too low on front though? anyone got any pics of their car lowed 60 on front?

    You're asking a group of random people how low you want your car? We dont know how low you want your car.. you do. So have a look round instead of filling the styling section with shit..
    Its about as pointless as me starting a thread saying 'What should my favourite colour be?'

    The back sits higher anyway so might be worth lowering the same amount and then i doubt the subs will make much diff to height if any.

    my subs have made a difference in the hight, i have to slow right down going over dips in the road as my exhaust scraps lol, the exhaust is getting changed though because the one on there now doesnt sit in the right due to size of backbox -.-
    
    ill have a look at other cars hights and stuff and see what i like,
    
    cheers guys

    lower looks better in my opinion. mines 85mm rear, about 75mm front, doesnt scrape much even with a full car.
    
    if you dont want to go at a snails pace over speedbumps though id go 60mm. any less and they look far too high in my opinion

    Think the front on that looks perfect but the back may be a little low.

    Apex X-low suspension kit will sort you out nicely. Will get the 1.1 about 60mm lower. Cheap as chips price with good quality components. Job done.
    If you buy from us you will get them on a next working day delivery.
