Been looking at lowering kits and my local shop is offering a uprated front inserts and rear shocks and full all round 60mm lowering springs for £275.

basically has anyone got this kit and whats it like?

also any pics of it lowered on 15,16 and 17" wheels?

cheers

my cab lowered on 40mm Pi springs and standard shocks and 16inch BBS, it is borderline too low for normal driving, i would hate 60mm.

and compared to a standard sport set up (-15mm)
