Just go for coilovers people! Im buying a tasty set of FKs right now... at this price you can't go wrong, read some good things about them on various forums too

Gonna play around with the ride height on my 15 inchers. Planning to get a roof box aswell, so adjustable height is gonna be a bonus for when the car is loaded up with festival gear!

Hey, i have lowered my Punto mk2 HGT by 35mm with 205/40/17 GT tyres on 17inch alloys, and I had just planned on using 3 or 5mm spacers on the rear with nothing on the front....

But after reading all of this threat im not to sure anymore, and maybe I should be using bigger spacers with some on the front.

Bolts?
Spacers?
Arches?

any help is welcome :worship:

does anyone have any pictures of a mk2 punto facelift lowered 60mm front & 40mm rear, im looking at lowering mine but don't know if its a good ideal to do the 60/40 or shall i just do the 40/40, im putting 14" alloys on so wheel size won't change
