Just buy a lowering kit that has 4 new springs and tell them how low you want to go......30mm/40mm etc

Or..... throw same big weights in the boot......or, gas cut the front and rear springs in half and your away laughing !!!

do not go the "cheapest" way!!!

your suspension is a crucial part of you car... changing just one component of it with out accomodating the rest to work with it, you will seriously f*** sh** up!!

in other words... dont cut your springs and dont get lowering springs without upgrading your struts... just fair warning.....

cheapest WRONG way...cut your springs or sh*t just take them out completely and ride shocks only hehe j/k you know your going straight to hell if you do that lol

cheapest RIGHT way...Get aftermarket lowering springs and struts/shocks at the same time. It all depends on preference.

BTW, you might wanna check some other threads in this forum, theirs plenty of info on both p10's and p11's. good luck. :frog:

What everyone else says is right - the cheapest way to lower your ride is to buy a matched set of springs and shocks and get them put on all at once. That way you won't pay for parts and labor all over again when you're dissatisifed with the first "cheap" attempt at lowering by cutting springs or just buying lowering springs without replacing the shocks as well. Have a look at the various threads in the suspension forum about the hell people go through after half-assed attempts at lowering. Nickel-and-diming lowering is an expensive way to learn - better to read the forums and learm from other people's mistakes! That's why we're here, right???
