Bilstein b4 with apex 35mm lowering springs

[Mr.k11 micra]

hi, I am the proud owner of a 1994 k11 and am considering lowering it, i am going to do bilstein b4 shocks all round and apex lowering springs but I'm not sure if 35mm drop is too low or weather the shocks allow for a 35mm drop

If the Bilstein dampers are the same length as standard dampers you'll be fine. I'm on Kilen lowering springs with standard dampers and feel it works very well.

What mm lowering springs did you go for, heard that 50mm or 45mm is the best to go for but then you have to start messing with the panhard too

I fitted these, they've been on 8 years now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Fits-...360335?hash=item43ee550dcf:g:0sMAAOSwbsBXpuBY

Do you have any photos of your micra at all, just want to get an idea of how it looks with 30mm Lowering springs

I used to run the Bilstein Streetline kit (apex 30mm progressive springs & I think bilstein B4 struts?) with whiteline swaybars, gives a good firm controlled ride. will preferably need adjustable panhard to keep the axle centered or else the alignment will crab.

here's a compilation of heights & wheels I've ran

Here's mine (now sold) on 30mm lowering springs.
Whoops - no piccies.
