   Hi, I'm completely new to mods. I really want to lower my car not to much cause i commute to work. I've been looking at apex spring kits. but i have no idea where i could go to get them fitted and whether i need anything else besides the springs.
   
   Hope you can help..

   you could either buy the springs alone or the spring and damper kit.
   The rear would need adjusting either way.
   
   post up your location, theres a few pros on here who could do it cheap. Need to be careful who you get to lower the rear, as theres a right and wrong way to do it. Dont just assume garages will always do it the right way

   depending on how low you want to go
   
   upto around 40mm - just front springs
   
   upto 60mm - front springs, front dampers and rear dampers
   
   more than 60mm - front coilovers, rear dampers

    FYI to all those asking in a random thread for someone to lower their cars, There is a regional section where you might actually get someone local to you.
