im after lowering soomtime soon, but im not sure upon how low to go. i want it to be lowered so that the bodywork is roughly inline with the top of the tyres, i dont want to go any lower so the tyre are in the arches. anyway, theres a rough pic of my car to give some idea

thanks

Coilies won't last longer than Springs and Shocks...

hottuning ones are just over 200 quid... well worth it, you can experiment with loads of different heights then.

very stiff ride though, great fun round country lanes :P

Coilovers offer height adjustable on most and are stiffer than normal or uprated shocks and springs and so can go a little lower.
