Suspension upgrade advice please

[shanedavison28]

Thinking of getting either coilovers or eibach sportlines for my dci 100 to lower it around 40-50mm but im just wondering what the ride comfort will be like? I'm mainly going to get it done to make the car look better but I also need to keep it comfortable for driving on the motorway and going over speed bumps etc.

So if I get either coilovers of eibach sportlines will the ride comfort be as good, better or worse?

Thanks in advance

A low-cost adjustable suspension you can recommend Ta-Technix. I had one installed and I was very pleased. Price is 300 Euro. Easy installation.

Eibach Sportlines are the way to go. Don't buy Apex, they are crashy and harsh imo.

Ok and are eibach sportlines good for looks and ride comfort? I don't want the ride comfort to be worse than standard.

i had sportslines for few months and they were fine, coilovers were fine too imo but on a long journey/s**te roads then I would stick to the springs, the look is completely different though so you cant really compare the 2

Sportlines will give you a decent drop, and won't be too harsh at all.

They will be far better than buying some cheap shitty coilovers.

Ok thanks for comments.

However does anyone know if the eibach sportlines will be as good as standard springs, better or worse?

they'll be lower, and firmer.

which, for beaning about da twistiez, you'll be "better off"

but, for the 99% of your time, you'll be "worse off"

just carry some fat mates around for a while, same effect as 60mm springs but with better stability
