Has any one Lowered their car 35mm and got 15's on it.

Im looking for a suspension kit and was thinking about getting the Koni fully adjustables which lower the car 35mm

I was hoping for more than -35mm but thats about all i can find.

I you have this or close to it, could i see a pic.
OR
If you could recomend some good suspension kits and were i can find prices.

Cheers

Badboy, What kind of suspension do you have and how do you find it.

If you can get the combination of parts right you can go lots lower than 30 mil. when im doing shows i wind my coilovers down and have found that -130mm is possible but the offside drive shaft scrapes on the chassis leg. when im running like that i use 195/45/15v`s (bridgestone re720`s but they aren`t made any longer

) 7x15 et38 alloys. i have previously scrubbed out a fair amount of the arch liners in the past which helps.
when ging low it helps to have every thing in the suspension as new as possible and replacing certain bushes with powerflex items.

wul3er im using spax springs, got the from my local motor shop, motorworld. they cost me Â£90.With coilovers can you adjust the height yourself when ever you want?

I origionally wanted coilovers, but 2 of my mates have been trying to talk me out of getting them.
They say its hard to adjust them to what you would like, I dont need them as the car wont really be getting thrashed hard around corners.
and they wont be comfortable, which is something my wife wants.

1 of them has a set of Koni Fully adjustable (yellow ones) and the other has Bilstein.

what would be reconemded to lower it and keep some of the Comfort.
