Marco57 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hi everyone, I have some questions concerning the suspension, especially concerning springs/coilovers. I want to lower my car but before that, I want to measure a lot of things in order to avoid scrapping everywhere and to have an unusual car ... Because speedbumps in France are like Pub in the UK. So I measure the height of my car from the bottom to the top of the arch. A picture to illustrate my purpose .. Here are the results: Front right: 70,5 cm Front left: 70,6 cm Rear right: 69,8 cm Rear left: 70 cm The question is, can someone with some springs (eibach, h&r, teiN, ect ...) measure the gap between the bottom and the top of the arch? It will be very helpuf for me! Thanks in advance guys and sorry for my English .. If something isn't clear, tell it to me, I would re-explain.

veilside z Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Should you fit coilovers, these can be adjusted so as they will not scrape under any condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was thinking about fitting coilovers, but it's expensive and now I'm thinking if "just" springs" can be a good option for me. Eibachs Springs lower around 30mm. Thanks for your reply! I know that the drop is about 30 mm but I would like to have the real measurement from one member running these springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The above wont work. Way to many variables. I.e. Tyre sizes. Look at the springs you want, find their drop measurements and then just extract from your current 700mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the springs you want, find their drop measurements and then just extract from your current 700mm Yes my logic makes me think like this. But I would have liked a well-meaning soul which can measure me directly on its car Because H&R is saying 30 mm and I found these springs much lower than eibach springs for example :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
