Hi all,

i know your probably real annoyed with all these "lowering/Suspension" Posts, but i really need some advice as i wanna order a kit 2nite.

I currently have standard Suspension Setup with my 15" Mille Miglia Spyders with 195/50/15 Toyo Proxes on a Corsa B.

Was looking at these kits as they got 15% off at the moment and i only really wanna cheap setup.

>>> FK Kits <<<

Questions?:

1. Which kit 60/40 or 40/40?
2. Will this kit work on a 1.0 12v?
3. Good price or not?

Many Thanks,

James.

Firstly, howcome you didnt reply to my u2u? Don't you want to sell those arches/sideskirts

If your only looking for a cheap set up I'd go for something different.

I picked up my spax shocks and springs (-40) for 140quid second hand.

not sure about that fk kit cos doesnt give any information about it

think 50mm drop wud look sweet on 15's,

60mm is too low imo

as i said if your looking for a cheap setup theres no point spending 200+

hope this helps

also meant to say the ride on -60mm is supposedly shite and real hard.

read some reviews on 50 which aint so bad - thats why i'm changing mine for a better setup on 50 springs

never heard of 60/40 before??

take it that means front end lowered 60 and back end 40??

eibach do 50mm but are quite expensive, your best bet is to speak to Red_SXi and see if he can do you anything.

60mm drops quite hard, cant really take many people in the car etc

dont understand this 60/40 40/40 talk tho?

The first figure is usually the front, therefore 60/40 will be 60mm front and 40mm rear. I sold 75mm front and 50mm rear today

60mm front / 40mm rear
40mm front / 40mm rear

i see never heard of lowering the front more than the rear..

suppose the front does look higher than the back when lowered.

If your referring to my garage Tidus yes mines lowered 40mm on 15's, quite like that ride height but think another 10mm will look better, and i'm getting koni's which will hopefully not effect the ride too much
