Lowering my car

[senna]

Lol...seems i'm getting quite a reputation around here....kinda embarrassing, haha

If it is a street car, my "best" set-up to recommend is Koni Yellows with a Ground Control kit. Height adjustment, good spring rates and the shocks can soak up most of the bumps our crappy australian roads can throw at you.

There are plenty of threads about this already - have a bit of a search in the technical sections and you will find that as much as i can bang on about the benefits of setting up suspension correctly, most people that are young or inexperienced with different types of cars will just get whatever is cheaper or most convenient option for them at the time.

Think of it this way - whats the point of making your daily car uncomfortable and awkward to drive 90% of the time just so you can enjoy a smooth strip of tarmac for 20mins on the odd weekend when you find time to go on a cruise?

I'm still trying to find time to get a front swaybar and fit it to my CXi EK daily, once thats on i'll be happy to take anyone for a ride so they can see how a different approach can give you an excellent result...

If I had my time again I'd just get a larger RSB (maybe 18mm) or maybe the ITR 22mm + SFB instead of the coilover setup I have.

Less roll but also comfy on bumps. Sigh. It's a lifestyle...
