Just a thought after seeing some chavs around town, have you got any speed humps around your area.

As you may have problems getting over them after lowering your car to the max.

There are a few but nothing too major as you can take them at an angle...

My Impreza was on the floor and that was fine.

May be a daft question, but why are you after sitting on it's ass? :???:

If you sit it that low on just a set of springs, you will not be able to set the suspension / wheel alignment up correctly, and the handling WILL suffer

The car runs on a set of HKS coilover at the moment.

The front ones are knackered and until I can afford some new ones i'm going to run the rear HKS's and standard front with lowering springs.

I just want to go a bit lower than 30mm at the front.

I've got full laser geo check facilities at work so I can set it up spot on.

If it's just springs you're after with standard shocks, then have a look at the Tein 'S' Techs

Wouldn't think mixing the suspension would be a good idea though, hard rear soft front :???:

I wouldnt usually but the rears have a valve on them so you can adjust exactly how hard they are.

Ive got a pretty good compromise at the moment with the standard springs but they are just too high.

Would recommend the Tein S Techs too 8)

Where do you work ? Just curious to what equipment they have for setting your geometry

I work for a Ford dealer in Uxbridge.

We have just taken on one of the Technicians from Power Engineering who looked after my car when he was at Powers.

We have full laser alignment and full Geo facilities..just dont ask me how they work though!
