Which springs
- Thread starter Jim.
- Start date
Ive got Chassis Dynamics with AVO dampers on my 16v, Chassis Dynamics are AVOs own and the ride is superb. They are very easy to adjust and have transformed the handling! Bit pricey but worth it.
Ive heard SPAX are a bit harsh.
K-Tec have Eibach sportline to lower 30mm all round or Eibach pros to lower 20mm and 15mm
Whos got what and what gives better handling and looks??

The 35mm drop looks good on the valver, the wheels tuck nicely up in to the arches with no rubbing. As Yozza said to me "You wont get many illegal immigrants under those arches!!"
Hang on a second, isnt your car a 1.2? Mmmmmmmmm, now that would be a waste of my time!
WHY WOULD IT BE A WASTE OF TIME??!? and why is there no point? i dont wanna be driving round looking like its on stilts now do i??!?!
also cant do -60MM as i take it to watch rallying, and some of the tracks i take it down are propa bad, pot holled big style n well bumpy, i dont fancy the suspension springing out of the bonnet or grounding out on the camber of the track.
So Im going -30mm or -35mm like it or not! i didnt ask for how low to go advice now did i? i just wanted the best make n the cheapest place 2 buy em.
(sorry, *puts handbag away*)
A well built VW
Ive got H&r cup springs fitted to mine with the standard shocks at the moment and it is SUPERB amazing transformation more composed but not too harsh/bumpy my mate has FK coilovers which replaced his full KONI kit and he prefers mine and when fitted you noticed straightaway the 30mm drop they are not cheap though about £135 the following sell H&r but they are not listed on the website may have to phone them if interested

If theyre good enough for porsche and mercedes cant be bad and they also have TUV approval
Good luck m8

just saying 35mm isnt a noticeable drop, the amount of people that have come on here and said "which springs should i get 35mm or 60mm???" and then gone and bought 35mm springs, fitted them to the car, and then stuck them up for sale on the forum because the car still looks like a roller skate!!!!! It just makes me chuckle!!!!
Im just wanting someone other than me to go hardcore and drop thier car into the weeds!!!!
Sorry Jim, just me being a pleb, ignore me!!!
Only advice i can give to you regarding the 35mm springs is go for Apex (its a 40mm drop) but theyre cheap at £75 and IMO it does improve the handling. Stay away from spax
. I would love to go 60mm, but it just dont suit wat i use my car for, if i dint go spectating rallying in it i would defo go for -60mm + bodykit....but if i did that now it would get ripped to shreads and would wreck the car.

whats wrong with spax?

badge snobs?
Come to think of it Jim 35mm on a valver looks alot lower than 35mm on a Mk3 Clio.....Ive been to the WRC for the last 2 years now, the first year I took my car I knackered one of the dampers on those bloody tracks! Thats why I decided to upgrade....Freds car does look awesome but it would be no good for us rally buffs.
Fred, not really up for challenges unless on the spur of the moment. Yoz told me how quick yours is in the twisty bits, what power mods have you got in mind for the future?
