springs

[byers182]

want to lower my 182 standard at the min, but i dont want to be a nightmare if i have a car full catching ect , but still want a nice drop... have you any pics of drops and what do u recomend for what i want are apex the beast option thanks

eibach sportlines or coilovers are your only (worthwhile) option imo

will 40mm drop be to much i.e car full ?

 

[Jay Payne]

apex are not the best springs, if u just want it lower and dont want coilovers and dont mind the bad ride then they are ok. otherwise as above

Apex's for a great look that still lets the car work daily ie speed bumps full lock etc, provides a nice solid ride through the bends, really liked the way it made mine feel.... except! for the comfort, you will cringe @ drain covers lol.. Sportlines for comfort/look as burp says

Dont go lower than 40mm without uprating you dampners.

Ive just had sportlines fitted to my car, and it looks SOO much better then standard. I cant comment on the change in driving, as I only drove it 2 miles home from Burpspeed HQ!
Go for sportlines!!

I have Sportline's on the 172 as well and I love them

I have apex springs, i love them,
goot solid ride, great drop,
havnt really noticed and change in comfort

also, ride height vs scrubage depends on the springs,

i have apex 60mm, never rubbed even 5 up, or full lock,

also have them on standard shocks for over a year without problems

Apex on mine too.. Dowm 30mm and looks lush.. ride is rough as hell but it is ok for daily driving. Find im concentrating more on pot holes than i am on the road !

Eibachs are spose to be the dogs danglies but i dont know as never had them..

Coilovers for me soon anyway

thanks alot for your input!!! think 40mm apex for now as am after a new zorst !! i think the standard ride is still not that good i mean comfort wise, so all go for the apex..
