r111nxx Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 The time has come to lower my car. Been wanting to do it a while now. Does anyone have any springs or I could be tempted with coilovers at the right price. Cheers. Quote
Lexx Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Might be worth telling folk what your budget is, since there is a healthy price difference between lowering springs and coilovers. Quote
r111nxx Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 I'm not too fussed to be honest Lexx. I know coilovers are a lot more but happy to spend on the right set. I don't want any cheap makes whatever I go for. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Are you after new or used, we can help with new... Quote
r111nxx Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 I will get new if nothing turns up in the next week. I've checked your site out already and I thought I would just try this before buying. 1 Quote

r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Are they low enough though? I sort of think they are hardly worth doing for that drop? Any pics of these on anyone's car? Quote

BulletMagnet Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Just be aware that if you go beyond 20mm lower, you will need adjustable rear camber arms, rear toe eye bolts and maybe front camber arms. Factory adjustments cannot bring camber back into spec when exceeding 20mm lowering. Quote
r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks smartme. BulletMagnet- are all the other things expensive then if I went for Eibach's and lowered 30mm? In this case, are coilovers a better investment? Thanks Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 It all depends on what you want to do. I myself just wanted a mild drop without the need to get all the other stuff, so went Tein S-Tech route With coilovers you of course have the freedom to lower to what you want, but same applies as above when you go lower than 20mm. The advantage of getting coilovers I can see is that if your OEM shocks are starting to get tired and need replacing at some point, then coilovers would take care of two things in one go. Quote
r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Yes, I see what you are saying. Do you have a picture of yours on the Tein's at all? Quote
r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Looks good.what size wheels do you have on? I don't want to just rush into buying Tein's then regret it and wish I had lowered it further. Quote
Payco Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Mines lowered 20mm on Tein S springs and it's low enough to look and handle right and still deal with speed humps.Only my opinion but for what its worth Tein should be fine for the job.. Edited September 6, 2014 by Payco Quote
ninjaz Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I will have Eibach pro springs up for sale soon bud. They have been on my car for 1.5-2years and covered around 15,000 miles. I should get my car and the springs back on Monday, let me know if your interested and I'll send over some photos Quote
