well i dont mind the suspension it comes with just as long as i can put my own on as ive heard you cant just put springs on the original shockers coz i dont want speed i want it to be slammed as much as posible like 80 or 100 mm cheers

you can put springs on, but your shocks will most probably be well crap with them on! mine was solid with just springs and was the worst ride ever!

The ride will be less harsh with standard shocks on mate, as they compress easier than uprated ones. When i swapped my dampers from standard to lowered ones the ride went solid, hitting a slight bump nearly knocked the steering wheel out me hands :lol: ,hardly any damping, but cornering will improve with proper dampers as well as springs.
You can do 40mm on standard shocks, but any more you need shocks and springs.
Anything more than 60mm is probably gonna require coilovers.

60mm springs on standard dampers is the worse ride ever, not only is it harsh but the steering it rubbish to.
