ive got spax springs. pleased with them soo far

 

[lee_clio_mk2]

ive got pi springs, Im well pleased with them so far.

 

[Levo]

Ive got PIs too, pretty hard - but happy withem.

Only springs will be ok but your standard dampers will not handle wery well with a -60mm drop. Get some sports dampers like the Eibach pro-damper´s or simular and combine them with some -60mm springs like the pi, spax ect.

oh and next step will be Coilovers

i think just go strait coilovers do not pass go do not collect £200

The more you do to the car the better it will be springs alone will be good but shocks as well will help (assuming there decient shocks). I dont think youll get any shocks on there own for £200 though. Best save the money IMO and get coilovers though there about £500 if you shop around so save your money a bit longer and get the ultimate.

right ok then for the time being im going to stick withjust springs then and wen finances enable me, or wen my original shocks become too harsh i will switch to coilovers.

cheers

Start saving you won´t regret it

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

so why exactly r coilovers soooooooo good.

do they allow you to choose and change your ride hieght??

 

[Martin]

I got coilovers for 380 quid, 16 point damping adjustment and height adjustment. Gaz coilovers from K-tec, very happy with them.

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

ooo not bad how much is height advjustable by?

 

[Michael]

yup..........You can set it up just as you like it, depending on your wheels and how you want your car to look ect. ect. Handels way better than "just" springs. Hard to describe, you have to try it .......It´s the daddy of suspension

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

well wen ive got enuf cheddar mash i will certainly b puttin coil overs to the top of my " to do " list for my car!

 

[Big Iain]
