My Fiesta mk4 is 1998...never had upgraded or replaced Suspension.

I am thinking of these options:

Replace standard shocks and pop on some 40mm lowering springs...since the shocks atm are 15 plus years old it'd be good to replace em and the springs would fit Standard shocks.

Coilovers which would save time and would be the best thing, quality and performance.

Sport suspension kit...shocks, springs etc...replacing the standard shocks...kinda like first option but more expensive.

I've compared shocks and they just seem to be painted different but look like the same quality...Coils are obviously great choice and would hold up over time.

replacing the shocks and springs to me would be just like fresh suspension after 15 years of standards on normal springs...since the cars old but i'd still like to look after it as I was gifted it...what do you think is good or bad etc?

Exhaust system with race tube fitted, air filter, front brakes/pads and 14's so far...MOT soon so I will get em check my shocks so I can consider it in the next year.

Thanks

A lot of money to spend on an old banger, but it's your money.

yeah i know...i'd like to get bigger engine but that's a lot of work and i aint a mechanic.

i might just leave it not lowered.... still could be good to change the shocks...will see at MOT what condition they are

Mate of mine selling a car lowered, bigger rims and sound system....could be a better idea
