yup, the springs wont be a prob on 15.s you'll prob need to trim the plastic arches right back tho but thats no a prob, and a full koni kit will be "roughly" £250-300 iirc

I heard they handle like a bag of shit after 40 mil. Mines dropped 30mil on 15's but scrubs with anyone in the back so thats probably y no more thn 25. But do wot i did and take em out. Makes the car lighter and it wont scrub anymore. May as well get yaself XR2 anti roll bars as well mate.
