Lowest springs for 172

[B19_TSH]

hi, ive done a search already and not really uncovered what im looking for. Im wanting to know which springs would lower the 172 around -60mm. the lowest i can find is -40mm.

cheers, Tom

If you want to lower the 172 60mm then coilovers is your only option. 40mm springs with OE dampers result in a crashy as f**k ride, god only knows what 60mm will be like.

Where did you get the PIs from mate? Have you any pics of yours with the -60mm drop?

Cheers, Tom

As far as I know there isnt a -60mm spring available for the 172. As badinvincible said the lowest is a -40mm one, Apex sell them if youre interested but a lot of people who have fitted them have said that the ride suffers badly from it. Coilovers can go down as far as around 70mm and are the best choice if you want to go really low.

172 sits about 20mm lower than a non sport model so 40mm springs are the sport equivalent to -60mm on a non sport. Comprende?

Cheers, Tom

 

[dutty_112]

fitted a few sets of the apex ones and i wouldnt say the ride is that bad. the car does look pretty slammed though on 40mm
