Lowering springs for Dynamique?

[-Leigh-]

The girlfriend would like to lower her 1.2 Dynamique slightly (about 35mm).

She soesn't want to spend too much money, and she won't be concerned about improving handling, it's just for looks, as she's female.

K-Tec have some springs for £80 made by Ultimate that would seem to fit the bill, just wondered whether anyone had used them?

Only thing I am concerned about is I don't want the car to become too crashy over bumps. Obviously expect a firmer ride, but don't want it so the cd skips over every little bump, which seems to happen with cheap springs.

She doesn't really want to pay the £140 for sportlines or the like, so opinions?

ive had those exact springs on my 1.6 dynamique - had no probs with em whatsoever. never had CD's skip on me either

So the ride was fine? Was it a smooth firm, or a harsh firm? eg my 172 is a smooth firm ride in my eyes.

I have to ask these questions, if I fit springs to her car and she doesn't like them, I will never hear the end of it lol.

obviosuly harder than standard but not harsh at all - just usual kinda take it slow over speed bumps - apart from that should be fine

Get the KTR springs (they are made by Apex).

I have these on my car. It says -35mm but it's more like 40mm.

Ride is fairly harsh, but only if you hit a big enough hole in the road.

[Hazza]

[Hazza]
