You're right about Tein's, from what I've read they have a bone-jarring ride.

I had seen JCW Sus on ebay for £100 last weekend which started the ball rolling. Since they so cheap I was going to buy eibach anti roll bars and powerflex bushes and do everything at once.

They weren't JCW so I didn't buy them, but I still want to lower it around 20mm as I've ordered 18s and Tarox comp disks today plus JCW Calipers should be here this week. Wasn't wanting to spend to much but since I'm doing the springs may as well get shocks.

Maybe £500 at the most.
