-50mm springs

[cafcross]

All I can find are -40mm and -60mm springs. I want to go lower than the -40mm I've got atm but I won't get -60mm on my drive. Any ideas where I can get some?

What shocks have you got mate?

 

[cafcross]

standards

Any drop more than about 30mm usualy means upgrading shocks too - standards on the non RS's are awful

Don;t talk soft!

Standard shocks are fine in my opinion, never gonna be stupidly comfortable anyways, either go for just springs or full on coilies, no point going in the middle for a kit in my opinion.

By the way, theres only a tiny difference really between 40mm and 60mm, surely you will still be able to get up the drive. Get 5 people in the car now, if you get on the drive fine you'll be ok with 60mm ones.

Exactly why I went for coilovers!

Eibach Sportlines are 50mm on nonsports iirc

can anyone confirm this?

i really want to go -60mm. may have to get a few people in my car later. how much clearance is there under the car at 60mm from the sump?

the main reason is because the pavement goes up and then my drive goes down, so there is a ridge i have to go over

[cafcross]

how much?

I doubt you'll catch the sump mate, mine has never scraped on anything at -60mm, and there are some vicious speed bumps where I work.

Just buy some mate, worry about the consequences after!

sod it, i think i'm gonna go for the -60mm springs. like you said pepsi i'll think of the consequences later. i may just have to park my car on the road now and get a longer hose for washing it!

No bother with coilovers,and you can adjust them to your liking

Am thinking of puttin -60mm springs on standard shocks, will this damage my car? There are mixed opinions of this on different threads
