does it actually gve a 45mm drop??

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I would recommend Eibachs (sportlines), although the drop isnt that significant, especially on the rears

 

[micallef1990]

can anybody post up a pic of a ns on sportlines if you have some cheers.

 

[Will.]

Theres a pic of mine in your wanted thread.

 

[micallef1990]

cheers mate just had a look now. have they dropped abit since the pic?? and hows the ride with them. (they good on the b roads )

 

[Will.]

They have dropped a little bit more but not really noticable. I think it will only be noticeable at the end when it has dropped completly. They handle like a dream on b roads, i didnt realise how fast i was going because the handling was so good i rarley had to slow down, i could go faster into corners. Unless you want to dish out alot of money for coilovers, get these because they are just fantastic

 

[micallef1990]

you are making me place my order lol, will they look abit lower with 16 inch alloys on?

 

[Will.]

Yh they will because the wheels will fill the arches more anyway because they are bigger. i only have 15s on mine.

 

[micallef1990]

how long did your springs take to come bud?

 

[Will.]

Well i had some problems because i had just moved house so my bank account was still registered to my old house and i was asking for delivery to my new house. so it was flagged for fraud and had to go through some checks etc. But i still had them within a week

Only ones to get are -60mm ones, apex or pi, the ride isn't great but if your young that doesn't matter, show over go on 1.2's.

If you need a hand fitting and aren't far drop me a pm.

 

[micallef1990]

i bought some pi 60mm ones of a member on here (mossy) but didnt want to risk running it with standard shocks.

 

[Jordi17]

Apex 40mm springs from kam racing, fcuk the ride quality (which isnt that bad anyway) they give a better stance than the eibachs.

I ran my 1.2's on 60mm PI's for 2 years in total on std shocks and had no problems, thats one of those myths that people bang on about but have never had experience with.

Ride quality won't be much good, back end will be stiff as, but will look cool and makes them handle a lot better on a smooth road.

you get CS discount with that btw mate.

 

[micallef1990]

where do i get the code from??

 

[Jordi17]

click "club discounts" on the left hand side, then obv click cliosport.

 

[micallef1990]

the apex springs are not there just the eibach and some coilovers

 

[Jordi17]

oh, maybe they've stopped doing them on discounted price then. When I bought mine from there i got them cheaper...

Could always PM them on here.

I have them on my 1.2 with 17s on, the ride quality is fine and they look sweet

 

[micallef1990]

where is the cheapest place to get them from. kam racing there 91 pounds.

yeh thats what im saying mate, i have them too and they're fine.

 

[micallef1990]

did it handle better than standard??

 

[Jordi17]

did it handle better than standard??

yeh course mate, you get what pay for at the end of the day. Obviously they're not going to be as good as coilovers, yet they still do the job.
