200 Lowering??

[Harpham]

Ive just sold my rollcage and im thinking of spending the returns on some lowering springs for the 200.
What are people's opinions on this? I want to get rid of the arch gap, but dont want it slammed. Im not willing to fork out £800+ on coilies either, as it'll be a bit of a waste considering that it'll be going back to Renault at the end of my 2 year period.

I was thinking maybe H&R's, which would lower it 30-40mm. But would it make the ride alot harsher?
Eibachs are an option aswell, but im not sure as they only lower around 20mm iirc, which im guessing is on the FF. So would that mean that it would lower my Cup around 13mm? Arent these meant to feel pretty much like standard Cup suspension set up?
Or alternatively, should I save my money and be happy with what ive got?

I've been in a car with H&R's and the ride was fine.

Look amazing as well

Do you know what it is like in comparison to the standard Cup suspension?

For goodness sake man.

In the immortal words of that dude off Star Trek ..

Make it so !

Keep the standard suspension in the shed .. treat the coilies as an asset... Job done.

LOL... You speak sense Giraffe boy. But as much as id love coilies, spending that much on the car isnt really an option right now

Just do it and then cry about it later. That's what I'm doing

Springs are the thinking man's choice.

Either will be great. The Eibach's will ride a little better possibly.

Lowering it is the way to go mate, as good as the caged looked the car will look much better lower.

I would get the springs, not like you've got old dampers that would benefit from being replaced
