Looking for a bit of guidance on lowering my saloon, looked around for springs but not sure to go with. Also what is all the stuff about comparing axle weight on the car to what the springs are rated at? anyone lowering the 2.0 diesel i'd appreciate help/ photos :)

Fair point!
In terms of suspension you could always go with a suspension kit is lowering springs and matching shocks. This will be more compliant for road use. You may find coilovers maybe Abit harsh.
this is why i'm asking! does anyone have a decent setup for this? s line shocks and springs suitable to lower those would be enough?

Welcome to the forum Ryan, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :)
Thr s line had it's own style of bumpers and suspension. If you are changing the bumpers is might be worth you looking at s3 bumpers :) As yours is a standard model you could also fit s line suspension which would lower the car slightly.
Cheers

thanks for the reply and welcome! i think i'd just go with the s line, s3 would cost a lot more and i'd feel like i was faking it a little. I want to go lower than the s line, i mean i just don't want to dump it :).

Hey guys
Thought i'd join up for a b it of info:
I've currently got the sport model saloon, getting a bit bored of the styling and wanted to spice it up a little. first port of call is sticking the S line exterior on it. Anyone have any experience with this? lots of front and rear bumpers without the grille/ rear available so would it be an option to buy the s line bumpers and fit the sport grill and diffuser? every other car i've had this sort of stuff is possible.
next port of call would be suspension and wheels, what experience do people have with coilovers? not planning on super low but still want coils over springs. and finally recommendations for wheels. budget for wheels and coils is around 1200. Not a lot but its not going to be a show car, i just can't stand the sport wheels anymore.
Appreciate anyone's input on this
