Should I

[SteDonaghy]

A friend of mine said he can get hold of some springs and lower my 182.. i was thinking doesnt the dampers need doin as well if your lowering the car but he said that it is fine.. Is it worth risk and is there any dangers.

LOL:lolup:

you need some anger management me thinks

 

[SteDonaghy]

Can it cause any damage to my car if i dont?

 

[theduck]

it will decrease the life of the shocks you have on. Lowering the car will, iirc, also lower the life span of the wheel bearings

 

[SteDonaghy]

So not the past idea to do then

 

[theduck]

Modding a car isnt the best idea in the world, but if you want to lower your car then do it. Just make sure you get decent springs and that you dont go below 40mm on standard shocks as lower than that and they will go fairly quickly

 

[SteDonaghy]

what springs would you recommend?

 

[theduck]

Personally would get either Eibach Proline (very little drop but improved handling), Eibach Sportline (About 30/40mm drop and same improved handling as the proline)

The Apex springs also well thought of but I would say that the eibachs would be the better spring!
