hi there just after some advise on what suspension set up to get and best place to get one, am i best to go for coilovers or a spax or koni shock set up, car is lowered 30mm at mo on stanard shocks but will need to uprate them as fitting 17s to car soon.

any advise will be welcomed

cheers

Not too sure on the best setup matey but if your going for 17's then i think you'll be better of with Coilovers as you'll have the option of adjusting your ride height with the 17's whereas if you go springs you won't really know lowering size to get tbh.

Well thats what i would've done anyway but i could be wrong.

Regarding the coilvers i won't know whats the best one or setup to use but ask around as theres quite a few lads on here using different types. See what they recommend

good luck choosing!!!!

Quite simple - get the best you can afford. As said, coilovers will enable you to adjust the ride height to suit the wheels and make sure you get no scrubbing. People complain that coilovers are too harsh, which is senseless. If they're too stiff, replace the springs, it's very simple. If you can afford coilovers, get them. Avo, FK, Gaz, H&R and Leda are just a few manufacturers available for the Fiesta. I've just ordered a set of Gaz for mine.
