Which suspension?

[Aurron]

Hi,

I Have a standard 182 05 plate non cup.

I am looking at getting it lowered. How far is a recommended drop on the standard alloys? and which kit do any of you guys recommend?

Thanks
J

Looking at a few hundred more then for H&Rs or AST's

Eibach Sportlines if you only want springs. and not coilovers

 

[ForceIndia]

Depends if you just want to lower it, or lower it and keep the handling.

 

[Aurron]

I want to lower it and keep the handling yeah. Also if I lower it will i need new shock abosrbers?

 

[Fletcher]

H&R, or if you do lots of trackdays- AST's coilovers.

 

[Craig]

H&R

 

[Aurron]

I don't do any track days btw.

 

[Fletcher]

^^^i'd go for some H&R coilovers then [if you can afford them that is]

 

[Aurron]

I take it they must be expensive then? Looking to spend about 400 max!!

 

[Fletcher]

^^^yes mate about £1,000

 

[Aurron]

Ah right, lol might have to go for something else then!!

 

[powey]

you can get gaz at about £450. You can lower it on just springs Eibach/apex and maintain handling

Had a go (finally!) in a H&R's car today. Really nice. The ride is good, handles really well. Rolls more than the AST's, steering feels better as well. I wouldn't change my AST's for H&R's, but the H&R's are very good.

i'm holding back on my judgement on the AST's until friday, did you like riz's then?

 

[caister]

If you can't afford coilovers just get some eibach springs. They hold there own and although there not as good as coilovers they are pretty good for the money.

Really liked them mate. Def prefer the steering on mine, but I'd be totally happy with either H&R's or AST's. The brakes are awesome, forgot how good braided hoses feel. Need to lower the drivers seat though, and replace that rubber bung.
