So ive just changed my coilovers as i couldn't get low enough now im running genuine rs's with a higher offset also running coilovers at there lowest setting isnt a great ride.
I decided on H&R's again this time though ah-exclusive modified ultra lows these will adjust to 110mm drop they use bilstein shocks and im very impressed with the ride and handling, they also do a 90mm and 140mm kits!

A quick photo but further adjustment once they have settled is needed

They retail around £1250 but having tried many others they do what I want the best so worth every penny

quality always costs but 1250 seems a good price considering

I'm very happy with them and it's pointless buying a nice car and scrimping on suspension
