40mm lowering springs for 1.2

[Jaff]

hi guys ive been looking for lowering springs for my 1.2, i've been told the apex ones are pretty good, but ive tried looking but i cant find apex ones for the 1.2, if it was a 1.4 it'd be easy but alot of the springs and kits state these will not fit a 1.2,
any ideas where i can get them or can you recommend a decent alternative, i'm looking to spend nomore than a £100 inc delivery if possible.


cheers

I was looking for some the other day, were £60 before delivery, cant mind the site though. Hang on while I trawl through my history.

if you want low dont get 40mm they hardly look any lower from some angles! i had the apex -60mm ones on my 1.2 16v with the apex dampers and even that didnt sit that low! so i went to coilovers.

but tbh, for handling go for eibach for lowness apex -60mm

would 60mm scrape on 15s or 16s?

lower than 40mm tough youll need shortened shocks and that cost more, plus on a daya to day road car over 40mm will be terrible ride quality

my old 1.2 40mm on apex, need to go lower?

 

[Jaff]

yea i cant go lover than 40 becauseof a my insurance wont let me ( upto 50mm drom £45- lower £120!!) also the roads round me are crap with massive pot holes and the council have a fetish for speed bumps, but my car sits as low if not slightly lower than the one above as standard.

eibach get a good write up but but i cant really stretch to £200 inc insurance,

are koni or g-max any good?

no..if you have lower profile tyres..mine are 16" 45 195s and only rarely it rubs very slightly on full lock.
