I would definitely recommend lowering the car, it makes such a difference to the looks, and the handling (if set up correctly) is sublime.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Guys...if and when i get this kit fitted, anyone know if its worth adding lowering springs...would this make it look much more balanced or does it not matter
Cheers
A BIG difference - not only to looks but handling also.
Has to be done properly with 4 wheel alignment afterwards. A world of difference if done by some place who knows what they are doing.
Mine has Eibachs on. Good compromise between handling / comfort / sore bum and rattling fillings.
I'm hoping to get the GT3 kit in a few months.
Thanks
It's been a while since I had mine done. I think it was between £250 and £300 for the springs.
Fit them yourself if up to it or get an indy to do it.
Here's a link for example:

Superb Ian....i will def consider this work....i thought it would be much more expensive....sounds like it improves the ride quality also....dont suppose you have a comparison photo before and after
Cheers

This is a pic of my C2 (ignore the GT3 badge, its gone now!!) with GT3 kit and Bilstein PSS9 which lowers the car around 30mm, the stance in my eyes is perfect! Gets lots of comments from admirers!
I would definitely recommend lowering the car, it makes such a difference to the looks, and the handling (if set up correctly) is sublime. Just did a track day at knockhill on sunday in the pouring rain and the car was planted!

I agree with UFO on this with the GT3 kit you need to slam it - in terms of speed bumps I never had any problems dropping mine by 30mm however I didnt have the kit on mine - I think the front PU is slightly deeper on the GT3 kit but im sure you'll be ok.
On another point i'd remove the rear wiper as it looks odd with this kit IMHO of course

Steve,
Never had any problems with speed humps with the kit, I actually find that the chassis grounds before the kit does over the worst of the speed bumps, but nothing to worry about, just a little rubbing......and rubbing's racing!.....or something!
