i thought eibach springs only lowered it 20mm or so?

so it would be apex for looks eibach for handling? someone will be able to clear that up but i think thats the way it is

I have Apex on my 182 an i love them, it looks the perfect height, just snug over the wheels and handling is much sharper and much less body roll. I beleive the Eibachs are great srpings too though, but like said, they dont drop as far.

Apex = 40mm drop with s**t handling

Eibach Pro = 15mm drop with great handling

Eibach Sportline = 30mm drop with great handling

Get Eibach, the handling is spot on

Eibach are definitely the better spring for handling

Is the ride more HARSH with Eibach Springs? Or is it good?

IMO i can't fault the Apex springs, handlings good and a really nice drop. haven't driven a clio with eibach springs so i can't comment. Here's a pic of mine so you know what you get with the Apex's.

At the end of the day if your looking for massively increased handling improvements buy coilovers!

Any one got a Clio 172 or 182 with 30mm Eibach Sportlines on there car so I can see what it look like please?

Thanks Guys for the input so far

Does any one also know where I can buy a set of 30mm Eibach springs for a good price?

not always true... you can achieve the same level of handling (sometimes better) with a good set of springs and dampers.

Coilovers are just popular due to the adjustment available.

nothing wrong with the handling on apex.

 

[dannyboy172]

Talking of dampers, can anyone suggest anything, which are best and what price are they?? Cheers. D

I'll be getting the eibach sportlines on my car in the next week or so, fingers crossed, will let you know how i get on.

Where are you based, you could come for a drive.

Ive got Eibach pros and they handle pretty well and the comfort factor is high but there is still a wee bit more roll than id like. Go for the sportlines!

Kris you could try revolution for prices that way you could collect without paying postage, don't get them to fit them though
