Lowering???

Post by spooky19587 »

i wondered what the pro's and cons are for either going for just springs, or going for springs and shocks?

I have a little 1l but like the lowered look but want better handling. I have 2 kids and a missus so need no rubbing with kids in back. I was looking at 40mm shocks and springs by jamex off ebay, is this a good idea and anyone reccomend them?

Basically just going for springs will screw ur handling up loads and also cause ur dampers to wear out much faster. The downside is though that a full suspension kit is at least twice the price. If you can afford it the full one is always better and yeh 40mm shud be fine with rear passengers - depends if you have alloys and what offset they have. B4 u buy u might want to double check which one is the 40 and which one is the 60 lowering springs - it could end up being the other way round and having 60mm for the back and 40mm for the front lol
