Question on lowering springs.

[zebedy]

ok so I've ordered my new wheels with are 20's. After I put them on I may or may not have an unsightly gap under the arches, not so much as putting 18's or 19's granted , so I light of this I'll need to lower the car. As I'm now on a tight budget after forking out 1600 on wheels, I'll be opting for springs. Do these come in a variety of drops like 10mm, 20mm 30mm and so on and also who would you recommend I buy them from??

 

Thanks in advance

Tein S springs offer a moderate drop (Fr 17mm/Rr 14mm) and are a reasonable £160 odd from Clark Motorsport.

PI lowering springs offer a 25mm drop Fr & Rr for £210.

Eibach Pro springs give more of a drop if that's what you want at around 30mm Fr & Rr. £235 odd again from the Cougar Store.

There are also some cheaper alternatives like Apex and H&R for a 30mm drop again. Have a look here: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_9&zenid=bcaa60565806895c2c0f2d2ff1b32aee

 

Bear in mind if you do go with the 25mm/30mm drops you may need some other suspension parts to help keep the car running proper alignment like a camber kit.

Size of the rims is irrelevant when it comes to arch gap, providing you are buying appropriate tyres to keep within OEM limits.
