So whe people say dont lower your car on standard shocks its onyl like lowering a GSI 10mm so surely uprated shocks arnt neccessary with a 30mm drop on a pov spec.

they say it cos its not as good as wit uprated shocks-iv found -40mm springs to be a huuge improvment handling wise-even on standard shox but im planning on getting it lower soon anyway. Think coilovers is best for a 2.0 as it can hold the weight of the engine much more efficiently..
