yeh but he has only got a set of springs, no shocks. You want to make your car drive nice lowered then get a set of coilovers. Springs are designed mainly for looks, not handling purposes unless you change shocks and dampers too.

To be honest my experience so far has been much improved handling over the standard set up, yes it gets a bit bumpy in places but am improvement i think, no doubt coilovers or new dampers would have been a further improvement but its better than it was. Didnt want to go too low either, cause we have a set of LARGE speed humps on the car park at work, which could of caused problems!
