Lowering advice

[172Ben]

Got my 172 yesterday, and after coming from Punto GT the handling is awesome.

I just want it lowered around 45mm, if only for the look factor.

Any recomendations, and will i just need springs?

thanks

Eibachs are a good bet handling wise, drop about 30mm though.

 

[172Ben]

any others that will lower 45mm? Any pictures of 30mm drop?

Deb182 had her 182 dropped 30mm on Eibachs, I've just bought some but need to fit them yet.

eibach sportlines imo

30mm does seem just about right, not to low but just enough to close the gap between arches.

Anyone do a photo shop?

How it stands now-

eibach sportlines, anything else and the handling will be shite

 

[Schweppy]

Coilovers or apex springs for a 40mm drop.

 

[Fred@BTM]

apex springs if you want to ruin the handling

 

[caister]

as fred said eibachs only otherwise your going to ruin the handling

Mine is on eibach sportlines, does the job both handling and looks wise -
