Alan C Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 When I got my z he had been lowered, so much that u can't go over speed humps & even scraped on ramps in car park's. I would like to know if anyone could recommend any springs and shocks or would it be better to put in the original set up Quote
GIXXERUK Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 coilovers and then choose you're own ride height or go with tein springs which lower 14/17mm - much less of a drop depends on budget and use really 1 Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Have you checked to see if you have adjustable setup, IE coil overs. Quote

ZMANALEX Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 to the forum. If you decide to revert to stock/oem springs, then I have plenty pre-owned in stock. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote
KyleR Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 If you just need a set of oem springs, I have a set here doing nothing since I sold the Zed with the lowering springs fitted. Give me a shout if you're intetested Quote
Alan C Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 I have check & just springs not adjustable ones. They have been put on with the original shocks. Thanks for the feedback gents. how much would a set off coil over cost I expect we are talking about £1000 Quote
Desey Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 hard to imagine lowering springs that would drop your car so low it scrapes, im like 40-50mm lower and have that issue you running oem wheels? Quote
Payco Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I run Tein S Springs as do many others. Drops the car sufficiently without you having to worry about speed bumps etc. The traders on the forum will stock them and they are only between £150-£200. No brainer in my book. Quote
docwra Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 hard to imagine lowering springs that would drop your car so low it scrapes, im like 40-50mm lower and have that issue Indeed, something aint right there - I estimate Im about 50mm down and I can still drive about ........... and Im pretty sure no-one does -50mm springs ..........

Ekona Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Possibly someone's cut down the OEM springs? Quote
KyleR Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I had 30mm spring and I scraped on speedbumps... Quote
Caff3078 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I'm getting eibach lowering springs on tomorrow and wheel spacers, il send ya pics and let ya know what the drive is like if that helps.... 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I'm getting eibach lowering springs on tomorrow and wheel spacers, il send ya pics and let ya know what the drive is like if that helps.... Post a thread if you can with pics of the drop as I'm sure others would be interested to see what the drop look's like with those & how it rides afterwards. From what I've read it should be around 25mm all round with the Eibach springs which is a good compromise between the Teins 14/17mm drop (not low enough for some) and other make's with a 30/+mm drop (which is too much for others).

Went over speed bumps yesterday with no problems.... Alls good.... That's good news. Can't stand bl**dy speed bumps even in my non-lowered Zed so it's always nice when they don't cause issues after lowering. Look forward to some pictures when you can. 1 Quote
