Lowering on standard shocks

[Samstrat94]

35mm H&R lowering springs all around on standard shocks, good idea er no? Or should I save up and get KYB Excel-G shocks if necessary?

Will be fine

They just won't last as long. If you're high mileage then the shocks will fail sooner than later.

35mm generally can be used with standard shocks but uprated shocks are recommended.

With mileage that low probably won't be a problem if your shocks are in reasonable condition.

Ideally I'd go for coilovers, but the cheapest I've found are roughly £450 which I can't really afford at the moment

Save up for longer

Coilovers are a better choice over springs then I take it?

Coilovers are a huge improvement over springs with the added benefit of being able to set them up exactly the way you want. More hassle and cost if a piston pops, though.
