been thinking of lowering my 172 but cant weigh up the pros and cons, I dont want slammed, just to even up the arch gap. Ive been thinking 30mm, whats the general thoughts on brands and how diyable is it with moderate experience. Dom
put it in the wanted section, iv got some but waiting to get some cash to get them fitted, think the best positive is the stance and better handling for cheaper money than coilovers
There's two great guides in the guides section which show you step by step changing springs, although just realised, you have to be a member to access that section!
But yea really easy to do yourself.
I hope that helps, sorry I don't have any first hand experience of what springs to get, but I think a lot of people recommend sportlines
Fitted sportlines now, had a bit of fun doing the front without compressors but I cant confirm it is possible with some help! took it out for a quick drive and it definately feels tighter through corners but pleasingly retains ride comfort. The lowering however I can barely see unless it is going to settle down over a few days?
it will take a few weeks to settle fully if they were brand new.
should you want to make it handle even better/corner faster in the future keep an eye out for some koni dampers ;-)
