Spring question

[Jackwoody]

I had a 1.2 Clio on 60mm springs and loved it!!, do they do any 60mm springs for the 182? I can only seem to see 40mm?

 

[Stefan.]

no, coilovers is your only option apex (40mm) give good ride height but dont do a good combo with the oem dampers.

 

[Jackwoody]

Why 60 to much for the dampers?, what's better 40mm springs or vmaxx/ktec coilovers?

 

[Stefan.]

yeah i would say so, depends on your budget 80 or so for sprngs or so many hundred for coilies. i looked on ktec site the other day and the k-tec coiles are going for 298 now if that helps

 

[Jackwoody]

What do the springs handle like? Do you have either?, pics?

 

[Stefan.]

i have had apex now have sportlines, sportlines are much better and better suited to oem dampers. no pics im afraid apex dont handle that good imo

 

[Jackwoody]

The sportlines still 40mm?

 

[Stefan.]

no like 25- 30

 

[Jackwoody]

What about prolines?

 

[Stefan.]

same if not less again, like i say im guessing you just want lows its apex or coilies imo

 

[Jackwoody]

Does 40mm even make a diff?

 

[Stefan.]

well it sits 40mm lower than standard lol you will notice a difference or go for coiles and then set it at the height you want

 

[Jackwoody]

Apex make the handling worse then?

 

[Stefan.]

Apex make the handling worse then?

yes from the oem set up hence buying sportlines. and they really are very good!! apex are way to crashy and whilst some people will think they are ok drive car with sportlines and its such a better drive. apex gave me no confidence in the corners
