I am looking at lowering my car when i get wheels.
I am thinking of getting lovell springs and pedders shocks.
Anyone got ideas or a good combination to keep ride comfort,money isnt the issue,just want it to feel and look good.

Howdy

Forget the Pedders shocks and go with KYB Excel G shocks,much better and probably cheaper aswell,tried and tested by many forum members and no complaints to speak of,so you cant go wrong

As for the springs,top choice going with the lovells,id get just the "lows",they have a slightly softer rate than the Kings which is better for ride comfort but MAY sacrifice handling a bees knob,but with the firmer KYB shocks and higher than standard rate lovell springs,you will be happy with the handling IMO with this combo over standard and have a good ride quality,maybe even go a uprated rear bar if you want more improvement

if money isnt a issue get some koni reds (ralliart shocks)
either them or some boge
or then theres the kyb shocks

the springs depend on how low you want your car
with lovells its either lows all round or superlows
its your choice

Thanks lads!
Im not lowering the car alot anyway,more than likely goin 1 to 1 and half inch lower because i'll be putting 18"s so just wanna close the gap a little without having it at a low rate were the car scrubs out everywhere especially with monsterous speed humps around were i live.
