[rankins]

[BioHzrd]

Dont bother springs dont change the looks !!

 

[R1XPH]

Give it a rest

 

[rankins]

can't afford coils, this is best way of getting car bit lower

 

[James.f]

chopped springs even cheaper lol,

 

[BioHzrd]

Give it a rest

How bout no.....

 

[R1XPH]

I don't have a pic fella but there's one local with spacers on, looks the business.

H&R are meant to be a tad on the stiff side, look at the Eibach Sport Lines.

 

[WillyB]

chopped springs even cheaper lol,

lol until the car just falls to the ground at 70mph! ahaha

 

[rankins]

lmao nice one r1xph eibach only do 35mm which is bit of a b**ch

 

[BioHzrd]

Witch is a pointless drop....:nono:

 

[R1XPH]

Pro lines are circa 30mm which I'm pretty happy with on mine

Sport lines are circa 45mm

 

[oz_clio]

Didnt know there were 45mm H&R springs?

 

[James.f]

lol until the car just falls to the ground at 70mph! ahaha

nope i was riding low on chopped springs for nearly a year :rasp: bumpy as fook tho, but looked the dogs

 

[rankins]

yeah a guy i know with his own shop in liverpool can get me 45mm h&rs for just under 180

 

[rankins]

r1xph pic of your car please mate

 

[Dave138]

My mk3 lowered on 45mm H&R springs with 15mm spacers.

 

[R1XPH]

 

[BioHzrd]

4x4 ftl :rasp:

 

[rankins]

nice one r1xph and dave, wish i had the money for coils

 

[Dave138]

As soon as I can find out that coilovers for the 1.6 fit the 138 then I'm buying some, but don't want to waste loads of money to find they don't fit.

 

[RDH]

I agree with Bio-hazard that with a MK3, unless it's slammed your wasting your time.

Cheers mate, will take some pics later this week.

 

[rankins]

unsure on that one like think daves car looks well for a 45mm lowering

 

[Dave138]

They are 4x4s as standard, even with a 45mm drop there is quite a bit of arch clearence.

Before

After

 

[rankins]

propa helpful that mate, its just made my mind up 45mm h&rs, gunna have 15inch twins in the boot so should look good and defo will get up my drive thanks

 

[rankins]

hats you ride quality like dave and where you get your spacers, just ordered longer wheel nuts from k-tec

 

[BioHzrd]

unsure on that one like think daves car looks well for a 45mm lowering

nothing against Daves car but i STRONGLY Disagree.....

 

[gtb]

is that as low as the rear will go BioHzrd?

 

[BioHzrd]

is that as low as the rear will go BioHzrd?

For now yeah considering custom springs for FCS

 

[rankins]

although bio-hazards car is sexual, that would be 1 big pain in the hoop trying to get it off my driveway, plus till we move house and i can save some propa cash ill defo get coils

 

[Dave138]

Spacers were from russ@gasperformance on the forum.

Ride comfort is fine, not much difference to standard.

But like BioHzrd says, coilovers FTW.

No worries mate ill try help you the best i can likes ! sooner you get off the springs the better car will look awsome once its decked !

 

[VeinAST]

Go for the 45mm springs mate. Does do a hell of alot of difference imo.

 

[gtb]

For now yeah considering custom springs for FCS

yeah, would look nice if you could get the rear to sit the same as the front. thats exactly how i want mine to sit.

 

[rankins]

nice one vein

 

[rankins]

whats the price on them please dave

 

[BioHzrd]

Depends on what System you go for if i rember right, i was £180+ for my 25mm System B's (Bolt to the Hub then wheel to the spacer)

 

[Jaff]

i think with some bigger wheels a 45mm drop would look ok, imo all these coilied up cars look broken, far too low to be practicle (note dean's grinding on the RR). a 45mm drop is a good compramise between looks and performance.

 

[Dave138]

They appear to have gone up loads since I bought mine (probably due to the dodgy euro)

I paid £135.80, but they are now £176.46.

If you wait a few weeks then you can buy mine as I will be upgrading to coilovers.
