Before choosing - I wouldn't recommend lowering your car too low as there is a great danger in cracking the sump on speed bumps etc. My car has been lowered 2" and it's too much (IMO). I'd much prefer it lowered 1"/1.5" for a better compromise of comfort/handling. I keep scraping the anti-roll bar. :rage:

They do a kit for not too much money which should be about the right drop.

There is a pricelist you can download on the site (an excel spreadsheet). If I recall they are about 75 quid plus postage.

35mm it says in the guide, It might be worth a call to check though.

Here's the guideline. 35mm max on a Maetsro Turbo, any lower and it will hit bumps in the road and rip the sump off. This is with 15 inch wheels.

Hi DRUE1,
I'm very interested in hearing how your Turbo is progressing - please keep us all updated, however, please use proper English instead of mobile phone shorthand. It is more difficult to read, especially for international forum users for whom English is not their first language.
Keep up the good work!
