   Right need to make my find up, I want to lower my VTS by 40mm, Has any one done this with just the springs and if so how does your ride feel, or should I save a little more and go for a full Spax Sports Suspension Kit lowered by 40mm, so looking at 50quid or 150quid.

   Most people will tell you to buy the full kit...
   
   For 40mm i'd say just springs, all depends how you drive your car?

   I think 40 to 50 looks best. Just got myself a 40 drop for my vtr, just need to get it fitted, but from what I've heard this gives the best handling.

    Potn.com, ebay.co.uk, been reading on them and they seem like a sound investment, might have to save a bit longer for these.
