I'm after lowering the car 60mm, however i'm not sure what kit to go for ??

I wouldn't mind some FK Highsports from Rimstyle, however i've done a search an read about there corrosion problems and camber issues. Would anyone with Highsports reccomend them, or should i stick with a normal spring damper setup.

I'm not looking to spend loads......the highsports would probably be at the top end of my budget, however i don't want the constant trouble and cost of changing the tyres all the time because the camber is all over the place....

Cover the coilovers with grease and they will last much longer. If your seriously worried then you can get silverlines, which are basically rust proof highsports. Still, if you do get silverlines then cover the threads with grease.

This is not just FK, you should cover the threads with grease on any coilvers.

yeah i suppose the corrosion aspect isn't too much of a concern, but the camber issue is, cos i'm a poor student bum, so can't afford new tyres every couple of months !!!!

How is the camber adjusted on these ?? I've read that some people have used additional adjustable top mounts ???
