Post by Gand »

Anyone know how low you can go if you have 15's on, and also will it rub when I have a full load

If you go for coil overs can adjust as much as it will let you. In as low as it will go and don't rub

I got a set for £150. If your going 60mm or lower, you will need shortened shocks anyway which will be around the same price.

depends what width your 15's are mate with a standard cav slab ect you could go 80mm easy all round if your running anything more then 7J then 60mm is best unless you have the cash to get the arches rolled up and got camber shimes ect to get them not to rub on the arch :lol:

Best thing is to save and wait if you want lower. I made the mistake of getting 40 mm springs cos I was skint then ended up buying both. Did the same with my exhaust.
