I want/need height and ride adjustable suspension on my car after the kit goes on,
Basically I live in one of the bumpiest places in the worls, girlfriends road is little more than a farm track, and have to drive country lanes loads. I want to be able to height adjust, so ride with a 25 mm drop for normal driving, then slam it on its arse for shows/cruising.
I need to know what to go for, what sort of prices to pay and whats best basically.
cheers

Im probably looking at spending no more than £650, but want to really slam it on its arse at shows, tuck the hweels upinto the arches etc, but need wheels out of arch with plenty of clearance for normal driving,
what do I need to look for when I buy some? and whats the normal variance-ie how much can u adjust by in mm

FK coilovers definately - they're designed for the road, not track so the ride quality isn't harsh like other coilovers.
01604 797960 (closed on Monday tho).

Im gonna get a pic of my missus road to prove how bad it is, and if I park at my aunts, Ive gotta walk about amile to get to my g/fs house. Nehow, I dont want to fit springs to the standard shocks, think its bad practice. Id ratehr replace everything with a proper set up - also been thinking about hydraulics - whats the crack with these
