Question about springs

[Matty_boy]

Hi people,
Picked up a 182 yesterday which has lowered springs. Whilst I like the look of the car the ride is to hard for my liking and I can feel every little bump in the road, I just wondered how much softer will the oem springs feel?

While not a 182 my first phase 1 came on lowered suspension and I couldn't live with the ride, even tried other lowered springs, my second on standard suspension afaik is much better.

Standard is fine imo

Running that now

Had a 172 years ago and I'm pretty sure it was nowhere as bad as this, I have no idea what brand they are, all I know is they are red, I know that's bit much help. But if anyone had some standard springs going please let me know

Dont sound like eibachs if they are bad, prob cheaper version.
I'll happily swap my standard springs for them...

 

[Matty_boy]

If you can take them out and swap them I'd be interested, I havent a clue how to change them

 

[PP200t]

Gutted!! Me neither!! I can do the rears easily, but the fronts is a different story!! Needs a buzz gun or similar to do. Where abouts are you?

 

[Matty_boy]

Im in Newbury you?

 

[PP200t]

Staffordshire, so not even close unfortunately.

 

[Matty_boy]

Ah yeah never mind mate

I'll have a set of standard springs up for sale in the next day or two. Extremely low mileage. If my sheds not blown away by the end of the night that is!

I sincerely hope they're not Eibach as I've just ordered a set :|

Oh and my 11yrs old could do a spring change guys, it's easy.

Cool let me know mate
