whats the best option to go for, buy lowering springs fror the fron and get torsion bar adjusted to match or buy a full kit. also what does the full kit compromise of?

just two front springs and the shockers with dampers i fink u still need to adjuct the torsion bar

Get a full kit and then adjust the torsion bar in order to lower the rear there's been a million different posts about this today, I've made at least 30% of them

full kit is 2 front springs, 2 front shocks, 2 rear shocks. always go for the full kit if you can afford it as the ride quality and especially the handling will be way better as the spring rate is matched to the shocks. only buy springs on their own if you're on a tight budget. you should be looking at paying no more than 150 to have the kit fitted plus the torsion bars adjusted.

the koni are the ideal kit, midrange price tag so your not getting cheap and its affordable

If you can go a little higher the GMC billstien kit is great, only week point being the springs which can be sorted later

depends how low you want to go aswell. anything lower than 40 and definately go for the full kit IMO

looking to lower 40mm cause ive heard that any lower and you lose the handling plus theres loads of speed bumps down my road. do you suggest i go for the koni full kit then?
