Shahzad Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a standard EP91 starlet gls and i want to lower it. Im not sure how to go about it. Do I purchase a coilover kit or just some lowering springs? If I purchase lowering springs can I use the standard shock absorbers on the car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noramally very hard ride, and prone to bursting on our uneven/bumpy uk roads.You can use lowering springs on standard shocks, thats the cheapest way to go about doing it. It will handle better than standard, and give the car a more agressive look/stance. But wont be as good as springs on uprated shocksFor a nice handling, everyday road car, i personally think your best bet, is an uprated shock/spring combo. A good popular choice is RS*are springs on Kayaba SR shocks..But theres many more out there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
