lowering springs or maybe coilovers.


Recommended Posts

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.

Might be worth telling folk what your budget is, since there is a healthy price difference between lowering springs and coilovers.

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.

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

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.

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..
