ME, asking about LOWERING lol

[R3OBC]

Just a quickie!! Ok, Eibach sportlines, -50mm ish drop for the 1.2 clio yea? So, Eibach Sportlines on standard dampers (for a slightly smoother / softer ride) or apex -40mm kit? I AINT bothered about lowness any more! It hurts

So, what do you all think? Eibach are sh*t hot stuff i do believe? Rob.

 

[Gary G]

Apex..best of both worlds ;-)

 

[R3OBC]

true! the -40mm is pretty comfy yet very sharp!

 

[Friction]

nah, the eibachs will be alot better than the apex for comfort. The apex springs are just linear, so not designed with comfort in mind.

 

[R3OBC]

i know how much of a difference the shocks make thought, i just fancy trying something different! I know this much, i dont wanna be feeling the bump stops again!!!!

 

[Djw John]

What about apex shocks with eibach springs?

 

[Clarkie172]

u turning soft?

 

[R3OBC]

Hmmm id prob just get the full kit for simplicity John......

Yea, i am turning soft mate lol

 

[Friction]

id still go with the eibachs and standard shocks for comfort, although if it was me id go for aftermarket shocks aswell.

You say you felt the bump stops before..... how?! lol (just wondered how low you are, as im lowered 60 with uprated shocks, had to take the shocks off to be sent back, and i never once felt the bump stops (although i killed two standard shocks in the space of two weeks)

 

[R3OBC]

u know hen roadwork people dig a hole across the road, and put it at the bottom of a little hill on a 60mph road, and leave all the ramp signs etc lying covered in mud at the side of the road, and u hit a RAMP at 60ish mph, lowered on shortened shocks etc............BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very bent struts!!

Next time your up why not have a go in jonnys as hes gettin eibachs on standard , you can have a go in mine H&Rs with standard shocks if it helps

 

[PS autoshine]
