Dblock Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Camber arms required for 30mm? Or any lower than that you mean? Well over 25ish you will need front and rear camber arms. I'm lowered on 30mm with camber arms etc but no rubbing. Quote
Vortec27 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Now for the shocks lol as the oem one are not suited for lowering springs Quote

CrumbMC Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 personally i d say go for the coilovers.....that way your get the added bonus of adjustsable dampering as well as height control.run mine on the tien super street set up....has cost me a new y pipe but a small price in my eyes oh and repairs to the v2 front bumper. What sort of skirts do you have Buster? Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Camber arms required for 30mm? Or any lower than that you mean? Well over 25ish you will need front and rear camber arms. I'm lowered on 30mm with camber arms etc but no rubbing. You do not need front camber arms for that drop. I have dropped mine about 40mm on the front and my camber is at -2degrees which is fine. The rears definitely need new camber arms as well as a larger toe adjustment. The Eibach kit is the only kit I know of that supplys this. Quote
Pete87 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 You might damage the standard dampers but I've had my a3 lowered for three years now 30mm drop all round with no problems surely its better to use the standard dampers until they fail then up rate the dampers, you might as well get your use out of them. Lowering springs are ok as there cheap but coil overs completely change the car I have so much more confidence in mine since fitting the coil overs well worth the money if you drive the car properly if you just pose then buy springs. I've lowered mine about 50 mm I think and I don't need all these different camber arms mine runs fine however clearance is a problem now. Quote
Vortec27 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 A good shock & spring is far better then any cheap coilover Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) H&R springs are very good We supplied and fitted a set of H&R Springs on Tuesday, quality was excellent... Edited March 29, 2013 by CS Quote
Ruddles Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 20mm BC coilovers. Chances are you may have to replace the a-arms and install rear adj camber arms to attain decent camber otherwise you'll be seeing your tyre bill ever increasing! Quote
Vortec27 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 H&R springs are very good We supplied and fitted a set of H&R Springs on Tuesday, quality was excellent... i have a brand new set of H&R super sport spring if anyone need Quote
Vortec27 Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Ive just put a brand New set of H&R blue super sport spring on eBay cheap just letting you lot know Edited April 1, 2013 by Vortec27 Quote
syy Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Cheers for the before and after. I'm going to go for -30mm springs, just trying to decide whether I spend £140 for Apex, £160 for H&R, or £190 for Eibach Quote
