[jivers]

Are you hoping for more 'looks' than performance?

For looks, Apex springs will be the lowest for your car at 40mm. If you want less of a drop and improved handling, Eibach Sportlines would be ideal.

Im interested in this as well. I also have a 182 cup. Do sportlines do 35mm or 40mm all round?

Sportlines are 30 - 35mm. Apex are 40.

On a non RS model it's only worth lowering with drops of 60mm and beyond.


If you want coilovers though just save a bit longer. I've not had my Apex springs 6 months and I've already ordered some coilovers. I could have saved £60 if I'd have been patient.

Don't buy Apex mate, its not worth the ride for a few extra mm
