What would you expect to pay to have your R lowered by say 35 - 40mm.
I have just fitted my new wheels and even though they are only 16's the car looks really tall. If i buy a set of lowering springs what ones should i get :?: And what would it cost to get them fitted :?:

started with 40mm on mine and it just looked really high still :shock: now ive gone down 90mm it looks really good but im having trouble with the camber now its that low :cry:
id say about £100 / £200 for the springs if thats what you go for or £500 +++ for coilovers and about £50 fitting well thats about what it costs round here anyway :wink:

I have a set of standard shocks with 60mm lowering spings if u want em.
The R looks just right on 16's with a 60mm drop. :lol:

I read somewhere that anything more than about 40mm would mean the driveshafts would be at un-favourable angles. Meaning, increased wear on the cv joints etc...

Can't remeber where though !

i dont think mine is like that with the drive shafts etc etc they look fine its just a really hard ride and ive had loads of messing about getting it all set up :cry:
some car you can slam them and have no probs you cant with the R :shock:
i would say 40 /60 mm max if you want the best of both worlds looks and handling that is :wink:
