Can anyone recommend a good suspension lowering kit for the 855?
Been looking at spax, koni and supersprint.....
all about the same money at £170
Just wondered if anyone maybe able to reccomend a kit as the 850 R springs didnt really work as i wanted them to.... I dont have nivomats btw!

Thanked 27 Times in 26 PostsJust wanted to lower the suspension to have that sporty "presence" to the car, dont really want to stiffen it too much, the old gal will shake herself to bits! lol...... Was thinking of these
