Hi

Just wanted a little help and advice on what sort of lowering kit I should get. My front shocker is on its way out so thought when I get it replaced I whant to get it lowered. Any help would be grate thanks.

Eibach Lowering Spring good place to start for springs

Or you could go for TEIN Coilovers

All depends on ur budget really. I ended up getting BC Racing Coilovers for £600 and thats the cheaper end for that sort of thing. Would highly recommend them but it all boils down to cost in the end.

My front left shocker is leaking and the front right isn't in best condition and Lexus quoted £380 for each side so was think I would rather get it lowered then have then standard ones put bk on. So I will need the shockers as well as springs but don't want the ride to be to stiff

Mine are adjustable (32 settings i think) and they are on a medium setting. For me they are fine, dont really find it any less comfortable than before.

Would you recommend getting the full kit then or just get some good springs? How much have you lowered your car by?

[Youngiceman87]

Depends how much adjustability u want. Lowering springs and/or new shocks will give u 1 height and 1 level of comfort obviously, compared to 32 dampening levels and full height adjustability on my coilovers. Mine were fitted at Wheels In Motion and lowered to a sensible level as dont want to scrape anything on speed bumps etc. They cud go lower but i dont want my exhaust to get ripped off lol.

Ok thanks for the help. I want to lower it by about 30mm but like u said I dont want it to scrape on any thing. Also how much did wheels in motion charge to fit it and set it up?

[Youngiceman87]

For fitting it was £70 + VAT an hour and took about 2 hours. Got my geometry done after so that was more expense lol. Very good service tho if ur anywhere near Chesham. Im not but i went there as i was on my way somewhere else.
