r111nxx Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted September 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted September 6, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted September 6, 2014 Share 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.

r111nxx Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted September 6, 2014 Share 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..
