hey guys

thinking of lowering my car 30mm to finish it off.

i have got 17" Wolfrace Street Mantis with 205 40R 17 Yokohama A539 tyres.

Just wondering what set of springs is the best to lower 30mm & will it rub?

do i need any other parts as my mate just bought an apex kit for his clio with dampners inc is this best.

ideas and advice would be great and if you can give me a link that would be great.

cheers

you will need spring compressors to fit the new springs onto the dampers. you can buy them, but if your only going to be fitting this set of springs you really are best trying to find a mate with some you can borrow, or even ringing round garages to see if they can fit them for you on the cheap.
