[Ross M]

as above ^^ ?
what should i go for first.
would only be getting -40mm apex springs to do me untill i get coilovers or wait a month or two and get a decat or sports cat ? which i would be getting at some point anyway ?!
so which one should i go for for my first mod
cheers.

Lower it first mate, as unless you get a proper remap for the decat it won't get full benefit; remaps not being cheap either id choose springs/coilies.

But Apex springs are too harsh of a ride according to most, unless your drive on motorway a lot, or your blessed with above average roads.

I have Koni adjustable struts all round which go nicely with my Eibach springs, its a good setup. Personally is your want a balance between ride height and comfort i'd choose Eibach or H&R, or if you just want the slammed look without any comfort then Pi/Gmax or Apex would be a better choice.

yeah cheers for the advice.
i dont really want to spend to much at the moment but will prob go for a set of springs.
ill def be gettin coilovers but that wont b till late next year.
how much do eibach and h+r lower by ?

Eibach you can expect between 20-25mm once settled, but the ride is fantastic as they're progressively wound, turn in is a lot better. H&R im not sure but im sure Google will tell you all your need to know.

Just don't go any lower than 40mm on OE struts, otherwise your'll suffer from damage and leaking after a years driving.
