they look stupid by the way

...at the moment.

Earnie is right though, springs will not get anywhere near where you will need to be to get them to look good.

I'd have gone for 16" Polo GTI wheels (same design), and a set of AP coilovers.

For me, the proportions are just too far out.

But separately you have a nice looking fox (in the best colour!) and a nice set of alloys!

coilovers, any kind of springs/shocks set up wont be low enough.

they may look stupid to you and thats your opinion. i may think your car looks stupid but il upload some pics when i have lowerd it!

Must admit, I can't imagine it will handle well either.

Id sell up and start looking for 16s or 17s if you must.

At the end of the day mate if you like it when its lowered and you think it looks cool, then thats all that matters.

Great set of wheels and nice car, hopefully you will be able to modify the fox to accomodate for the larger wheels. B)

Don't get me wrong I like the Fox and think it will suit the Monza IIs, but having wheels larger than recommended always cause issues.

I wouldn't go for coilovers with a fox.

They do a hydrolic kit which allows in-car hieght adjustment.

Would allow you to really slam the car (which it needs!) but still be able to lift her over speed bumps.

Good on you for trying something different!
