Lowering a Cup

[Spaceman]

Can anyone let me know the best place to get a set of springs. I was going to take it to BB and get them to do it for me, but if there are better springs out there, id be tempted to do it myself.

Any ideas?

Get the Eibach ones from K-Tec mate...

 

[Spaceman]

How much do they drop the car by?

Are they easy to fit?

 

[Rich-D]

There are 2 different versions of Eibachs, one set doesnt drop much, the other drops more, but neither are anything extreme.

Look on http://www.k-tecracing.comwww.k-tecracing.com for more info...

I have used the Eibach sport springs which lower the cup about 30mm with Koni adjustable sports dampers all round. Ive also had the geometry changed on the suspension to improve handling. The results was brilliant and worth a lot more than frigging around with marginal engine improvements.

How much did that cost Philip?

I could only see the springs which lower car by 15mm..

From memory, the Eibach sports (not the pro kit) were about £110, the Koni Sports dampers were about £350, the fitting and geometry including front camber+ toe-in, rear shims + camber etc and road testing work cost me about £375, so altogether I would say £850-£900 but worth every penny.

By the way all the work was done by a cliocup race car team and they were extremely impressed with the results. So am I.
