about all the matching etc, that isn't too important as this will be more of a drifter than a road car tbh...

So I want suspension thats a good bit harder, and also a BIT lower, say -2 or -3inches...anyone have any idea's for this??

See my last 2 posts

Or

Replace the fluid in your front shocks with Automatic Transmission Fluid or bike fork oil (there are posts on here about doing that, fluid might be different), change the rears for some adjustables and get savage with your springs and an angle grinder

Or

Replace the rear springs with scaffold pole (this is probably the cheapest option and is fully height adjustable....... once)..... buy a cushion

:L I knew a mate who did that, but all round, god that was nasty, looked nice and low but by heck would it hurt. Never got to go in it, feared It would break the car apart from the sheer vibrations. Simple for competition not a daily driver.
