Ok time to change suspension on my motor. Wot manufacturer does anyone recommend? I've heard Bilstein are quite good???? Looking to go for a 40mm drop or maybe even stick with 60m drop if that helps.

Cheers folks

How much is it lowered and how is the ride. I'm currently on 60m drop (not sure wot kit) and its bumpy and stiff as hell

Why do you want to buy another kit if your car is already lowered?

Theres not much you can do about it being stiff and bumpy as its lowered which means your springs and shocks are shorter than the standard ones which means theres less travel in the suspension

My suspension is fucked so i gotta change it anyway and just wondered wot kit people recommend. Also might go 35 or 40mm if all 60mm drop is this bumpy

ALL lowered suspesnsion is stiff and bumpy! You won't find a soft one. I've got Apex -40mm kit on mine, it's not too stiff, but you do feel the bumps. (Speed bumps have to be taken in 1st gear no matter how gentle they are now)

i have bilstein on one and apex on the other. Both equally bumpy. The lower you go, the harder it gets. If you already have lowering springs, see if you can buy just the damper set but make sure they are for the same drop as you have already.
