I'd get the Lesjofors again, they're a better quality product in build imho.

Just gone for some lighter weight 17s in gunmetal, should look well against a silver car, then will do the calipers in black and clean up the guns so it's all shiny and clean down there.

Why?

I go over 20+ speed bumps a day and with bilstein shocks and the Lesjofors springs the car handles them much better due to the rebound rate being higher?

Only issues I've had have been in unregulated multistory car parks!

I dont see myself running into many issues, if any at all, going 35mm.
I've ran Pug 306s in the past dropped over 100mm so im no nooby when it comes to knowing how to drive a lowered car.
Thanks for your input though mate!
