GAZ for about Ł500?

Coilover ride height is adjustable so you can have it as low as they will go...

Rear turrets need strengthening though.

Why not just get some normal springs with a massive drop?

Remember if your going to slam it fitting adjustable TCA's on the front will enable you to re set your front geometery, so you can still drive it lol.

Ours are specially strengthened and dont need any mods, but they would be completely wasted on your car. They could be supplied so it scrapes its exhaust on the floor all the time if you so wanted it. But we wouldn't do that so I suppose saying it was a bit pointless...

To be honest fella I wouldn't bother. Stick some uprated shocks and 35mm springs on and enjoy a car that handles properly instead. Coilovers really are over the top.

Without wishing to sound rude I just don't see the point in slamming a car so its belly scrapes over catseyes
