Hey all, I am after a suspension kit, springs and dampners, that'll drop my car 60mm, I got my last set from EURO in Manchester. Anyone any ideas? Anyone had experience? I want a kit that will drop the car 60 without giving a real harsh ride, the last kit was mint but I cant seem to find it on the website.
Regards Mark.

Dropping 60 will shag your ride big time, ruin your tyres and it wont handle all that either.
Stick to 40mm kit or a 60/40 kit.
Best one at reasonable price is the H&R kit. Seee a picture of Adams car or karans car to see the ride height.

Ive got Apex shocks & springs,not sure how many mm the drop is,look at my pics (320i cab)handles superbly,bit bumpy though.

Sorry to hi-jack but it's on topic.
I'm also looking for a suspension kit. I don't care how much the drop is although at least a bit on the front would look better. What I'm really after is a tight enough ride to go sideways. Unfortunately I'm on a very tight budget. I don't mind installing a slightly less quality kit for a year or two as I'm unhappy with the handling atm. (I have bushes ready to go in also)
So far I'm looking at
Bilstein streetline maybe the sprintline or the spax psx adjustable. I know the spax are probably going to be better but they're 160 more expensive. Any recommendations? I'm looking to spend 200 - 360. I guess 400 would be the absolute max.

cool. so far I've only done some heavy googleing. this site has a reasonable selection of performance bits for most cars. esp. e30
