cant decide?????
I've always stuck to standard height with uprated shocks/springs Dave,I went with the Bilstien Prodrive shocks with 50mm insert with eibach springs.
The roads around Herefordshire aren't very forgiving with all the humps and pot holes so lowered is a no go

Don't get me wrong it does look good to see a nice car with the wheel filling the arch but it doesn't mean enough to me to have a bone shaking ride lol.
Had enough of that in younger days
