Looking to get some lows and while lowering front is easy enough with some shocks and springs - there doesn't seem to be any options to get the rear as low as front.

Been looking at coilovers and definitely not buying JOMs etc.

FK's High sports seem to get decent reviews, but thought i'd ask people on here who had experience of them?

Car will not see any track days and will mostly be used for motorway/city driving.

So, Yay or Nay?

I had high sports in 2006. They were good.

Probably better set ups if you are looking for handling though!
