Which Lowering Springs

[caymanr26]

Anyone have any advice on which lowering springs to buy - I have a set of 17s and want it lowered but do not want to lower too much - I still want the ride to be relatively comfortable but would prefer a bigger drop than the eibach springs give

Help!

should have mentioned these are for a mk2 172

What about the Eibach Sportline springs.

the further you drop, the less comfortable the ride is gonna be. 60 mil drop springs with 17s will be a harsh ride, even if you get shortened struts, it will still be hard. ide get a 35 mil drop myself, im sure someone will post some pics

its a 172 you cant get 60mm springs.

i personally would go for eibachs they give the best ride comfort while getting rid of the bodyroll. there are two different kits sport and pro, one drops about 15mm the other 30mm i forget which kit is which. if you want to go lower and have decent ride quality then start saving for some coilovers.

Sportline kit is the lower of the 2.

I had my 17s on Apex springs and the ride was OK for me.

Lowers the front 20mm and the rear 15mm.
