Lowering Springs recommendations
I'm looking at getting lowering springs for my car. I have had my eye on Eibach's for a while but what do you recommend?
All I want is a slight drop, nothing major where I'm scraping the s**t out of the underneath of my car. I still want it drivable.
Let me know about your good and bad experiences with brands and lowering springs in general. I need to know I'm going to be making the right decision.
Thanks,
Leigh

I found that all springs are near enough the same, the branded ones are slightly better/stiffer than the non branded ones etc but i guess when it comes down to things you get what you pay for

So if for example, I have people in the back of my car, what would stop it from rubbing on the tyres (if that's the correct way of putting it)? Would having a branded springs help it?
I'm being such a div so excuse my idiotic-ness!

There's a good chance unbranded would be softer so with people in the back may run risk of rubbing yes but saying that even some branded springs are just the same. Springs is a trial and see teally especially with a car such as yours where I'm sure there's little on the market and even fewer cars which have tried it

Re: Lowering Springs recommendations
with springs your always going to run the risk of scrubbing with people in the car just depends how heavy they are, this is why theres also coilovers with all the adjustable settings on them like you can have them really hard so it doesnt scrub with loads of heavy people in the car etc could be completely wrong though

Re: Lowering Springs recommendations
I have used expensive springs and even used ebay special coilovers on my bmw slammed to the floor never scrubbed the arches. Even used the same coilovers on my bora, but it was to low and knocked the chassis rail on the drive shafts.
It depends if your doing to for looks or for handling purposes.

Just for looks as it looks too high at the moment
