Gmax
Spax

35mm kits you might aswell get them new not that much
from
http://www.xfactormotorsport.co.uk/
or try the parts section for second hand :)

if your planning lower you will need to upgrade your shocks aswell
so you could get the whole kit springs and shocks kit

Gmax and Spax
i had gmax on my car didnt have a problem with them.
but i have FK coilovers now cuz i wanted to go lower :)

try http://www.fiesta-centre.co.uk, they stock 35mm lowering springs specificaly made for them to fit fiestas, thats what ive got on my Mk3, they also stock uprated shocks as well, but im just using xr2i gas shocks on mine.
They are based in racheath near norwich in norfolk, very good place, have loads of good stuff.
worth having a look.

I can supply your with spax, avo, apex, kw, weitec, eibach or H&R

IMO your best best would be Spax, very good spring, TUV approved and wont burn a hole in your pocket.

PM me for details. :wink:
