Ive recently got my first car, an Audi 80 b4 and I'm looking at lowering it around 50mm. Ive seen quite a few springs for around the £100 mark, but ive heard that putting lowering springs on standard shocks can be quite a bad idea! Just wanting abit of advice and other oppinions really!
Cheers! :-)

If you're a test pilot, probably a bad idea, but for looks, probably fine. I've put lowering springs on a Mondeo and Rover 75, both on high mileage standard dampers, never had any issues over ride quality or handling, but I'm no test pilot  |

Ride quality and handling will be poor with stock shocks and lowering springs. I've got a used audi 80 lowered springs and uprated shocks kit you can have for £100?

40 or 50mm, looks a decent kit and rode/handled well on the car. I still need to pull it off the car, but can do in the nearish future if you're after them.
