   I'm running 14inch wheels and I want to go as low as possible but still static. What coilovers do people recommend ? Any pics would be a bonus, cheers

   GAZ GHA are one of the better budget coilovers, but being as low as they will go will completely ruin your handling.
   You will also have to take some other things into account when 'slamming' a car, such as the power steering pipe, it WILL burst if you dont move it out the way.
   
   Why do you want to go as low as possible anyway?
   
   LSOfreak will be a good person to speak to, I think he has/had one of the lowest static Saxo's around, He used custom springs for the coilovers too.
   
   Properly, its not going to be cheap!

   Well I'm running banded steelies and once I have got some low pro tyres i want the front to be sitting so there is no visible arch gap. So not necessarily slammed but enough for it to look good, and looking at peoples threads with gaz coilovers. It looks like these will do the job nicely !

   You'll also have to adjust the brake bias valve.
   Unless you like doing 180° spins on roundabouts!
