182 lowering springs

[sgtbash999]

how do all? right, i know naff all about cars really so need a little advice.

my 182 has the standard suspensiom (no cup pack) but i've been thinking of lowering it a touch cos it needs it!

can i just fit lowering springs such as Apex 40mm or Eibach Prolines 30mm without needing to change the dampers? if i need to change the dampers & springs too then i may as well save and get coilovers??

dont really want to blow loads so what's possible?

Cheers

you can go 40mm safely without changing dampers. eibach sportlines are highly rated

get eibach sportlines mate they give the uncupped ones more of a drop. you wont need to change the shock, they will be fine.

i had a butchers at the Apex 40mm springs on KamRacing but they advise fitting shorter shocks with them?

 

[Craig]

and you will loose all your teeth. they are harsh springs

lol fair enough.

Kam Racing website reckon sportlines drop 45-50mm? will they still be ok without new dampers?
