I was going to say get some cooksport springs, they look awesome!!!

 

[imprezaworks]

I like them

 

[The Fatty]

they are not 40mm though :s

 

[imprezaworks]

Well what would you suggest? Don't say apex lol

 

[The Fatty]

coilovers instead of springs

 

[imprezaworks]

True if you a few hundred quid for ish ones or the best part of a grand for decent ones

 

[The Fatty]

you can get decent second hand ones on here for sub £500. FKs etc.

dont meen to be stupid but how do i get to your thread? (im not very good at navigating this site) ive had coilovers on plenty of cars before and have had nothing but bad experiences so i was just gona give springs a try. i have eibachs on now and they handle well without any trouble but just dont give the drop im after. cheers

 

[imprezaworks]

Comes to budget I guess. Good luck with whatever you get op

Just go into the media section mate. My thread is clean bean on cooksport springs. Coilovers are good, well decent ones are but come at a cost.

Not apex.

 

[simondavies89]

has nobody found another company with a good set of 40mm springs. evry 1 says stay away from apex but has any1 found springs with 40mm drop that are any good? i was tempted to just go for the apex but ther is so much bad feedback thers no chance.

 

[simondavies89]

has any1 tried the a-max 40mm springs??

 

[imprezaworks]

What about the cooksport ones? The drop really suits my car, def lower than sportlines too

 

[MartinR]

If you do find some 40mm springs make sure they are progressivley wound (helps keep the comfort of the ride).

Apex and some other makes are linear wound which causes your front teeth to drop out!! Have a look at Gmax and spax i think they do 40mm progressive springs..

 

[simondavies89]

yeh your car looks good on those springs but im after it abit lower, my speedlines are only 15" so thers quite a gap between the tyre and arch so im after springs to take it lower. thanks for the advice on the proggressive spring, il ring a few companys tomorrow. cheers for every1s help

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok mate good luck with the search

 

[danward]

There doesn't appear to be a decent set of 40mm springs. Thats probably one of the reasons why most people go with the Sportlines.

 

[simondavies89]

ive found some progressive 40mm springs and ordered them today from a motorsport company, god knows what they will b like but worth a try. cheers for all your help. il let u no my opinion of them when ther fitted for all the other people looking for a 40mm drop. thanks
