H&R front and rear ARB. 28 and 24mm. That's what everyone goes for pretty much


Coilovers wise, bilstein are popular as are kw, but I'll let someone else answer that

In regards to coils, I think you need to decide what it is you want to be able to adjust and go from there really… Personally I went for Bilstein B14 as I knew I wouldn’t use the adjustability offered by the B16 kit as I don’t track my car.

I'm wanting some better dampers rather than coilovers, I wont use the adjustment of coilovers so it's just a waste of money!

Yh that's exactly what I meant, everyone has their own preferences so Plex needs to decide what he wants :happy2:

The main point of the coilover is to setup the height how you want it.  Once done then you leave it there.  Almost the same with the preload/rebound adjustment, once you find the setting you like best then it usually stays there.

I know mate but I am not that fussed about getting the ride height 110% spot on

Lowering springs and better dampers will be enough for me
