What Springs ?

[clio_greg]

Got a full new set of shocks and been recommended to change the springs too. the cars on 17's. i want the rear in the arch but nothing crazy obviously ! what springs would you guys recommend ? cheers

 

[deutsche_blonde]

only 2 days driving with them but loving Eibach Sportlines. lowered my 182ff (with cup suspension already) about an inch.

 

[clio_greg]

looking for something lower than that mate. most people on here go 60mm but no too sure if that would be enough tbh

get 60mm springs greg.

pi give the best drop as far as ive seen man

How much you looking to spend?

Im on 17s and getting V-maxx coilovers for around £315.

 

[clio_greg]

its pi's that are on the now andy. 30-35mm ones. there no bad but ! not lookin to spend too much tbh. maybe max 100 ? just springs though, i've got already got decent shocks.

 

[theduck]

have you got shorter shocks to allow for the shorter springs?

 

[clio_greg]

bilstein shocks mate. so yea

those B4 dampers are OE spec so not uprated or shortened btw

Personally id go for Eibach or coilovers.

if you got a full set of new shocks... what make are they? and are they shorter and uprated, if not you'd have been better off getting a full set of Eibach shocks and springs, i would recomment NOT to go for a drop as low as 60mm without shortened shocks, as this could cause the shocks to leak and have to buy new ones again!, with un-shortened and uprated shocks id do a 30mm drop MAX!, if they are shortened, then 60mm is fine, it would get your front tires to just about level with the arch i should think
PS the reason i would go for Eibach springs is beause they have a lifetime guarentee unlike most which have just the 12month Guarentee

 

[Smilfy]

sorry just seen the links
as said, thoes arnt uprated or shortened shocks!!!
so i would certainly advise NOT to go more than a 30mm drop, otherwise u could end up with problems,cars with shocks which arnt shortened and uprated shouldnt technically be lowered at all IMO

sportlines drop quite well on non sports!

 

[clio_greg]

thought they were a bit too cheap ! there on there way back. they didn't fit anyway. anyone recommend any other sets of shocks ? all 4 just now are fookt :dapprove:

 

[clio_greg]

would these fit my car ? http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=12566087

Sportlines

Very pleased with mine. But I might go for coilovers one day

 

[clio_greg]

eibach springs do sound good. they seem to be highly rated on here too. but i'm looking for a 60mm drop. i've got 30-35mm springs on just now so i'd feel as if i'd be wasting money on sportlines!

 

[Android]

get 60mm pi's

best drop

You would be wasting money on sportlines like you said, they do naff all to a 1.2.
