have a look at hurdys and redrobins car pics in here. both on 18" and both with coilovers.

With coilovers irrelevant of what brand you set them up how high you want them. you could put them higher than stock if you wanted its all down to preference and setup.

^^^^
As said, it does depend how you want to set them up. Mine are as low as you want to go for general 'fast road' use and occasional trackdays.

^ Hurdy has Bilstein, I have KW-V3 ^

Because of my relationship with VWR I chose KW but otherwise would choose Bilstein as adjustability is easier (which I don't really need).

Thnks for the quick replys, :happy2: Wanted to go down the AIRRIDE route, But sadly to expensive for me, So going to consentrate on a proper Handling car :grin: After speaking to a good freind of mine, Mike, He persuaded me to buy KW V3s, replace the ARBs, uprate the bushes, And to get a Anti lift kit. Need to do a bit of calling around to find a company that will do it all at once, Then get the car booked in at Lukes for some nice AUDIO :wink: Then i will be a happy man.

....Volkswagen Racing at Milton Keynes could do all that. They did mine.

remember going to low and you will ruin the handling of the car.
