Default Coilover question..

Im not going to track my car but i wanted to buy a coilover kit and my question is.... Will I have to buy anything else? Does lowering your car with coilovers "hurt" any other handling components?

And another question; do you always need to either buy drive shaft spacers or swap the cv cups? I don't intend on slamming it un driveable like most of you USA boys do! Just like 30mm!

You will need to get your car aligned about two weeks after you install and confirm that they have settled to a height that you are happy with. You will only need to do the CV cup swap if after you install the coilovers you feel the vibration during acceleration.

You dont have to buy anything else... just an alignment after they have settled.

30mm is pretty low. i was scraping once every few days with 27mm.
eventually i took it up by ~10mm to keep things practical.

I have the AP2 front lip too so I can imagine being 30mm down might actually be a bigger pain than I first thought!
