Default lowering

right
what make of suspension is best on a 3-door cossie? i want as low as possible and dont mind needing archwork as the cars getting painted anyway. want to drop it -100mm would i need shocks or just springs? or would it have to be coilovers? what brands do you guys prefer?
thanks

Why so low? It wont be able to get over a stone in the road never mind a speed bump

ive always been a fan of the euro look. my last car was s heavily modded corrado vr6 and im really keen to try it on my 3-door although i think spoked wheels will suit the car better than the traditional euro look wheels seen on veedubs

Why upset the handling with stupid lowering to that extent, well your choice but as said best with coilovers, just don't expect it to handle.

ive seen a few close to one, but not intensionally done as a euro project just had that look about them

i think itd look good with the arches smoothed to the body and on like 16x9" split rims and the big whale tail on the back.

there was a 3door in fastford ages ago with wulf graphics on it (was the far less common version of the texaco one but the german version, white and red graphics) looked awsome
