Suspension

Post by BENNO »

I've come to the decision my car is too low. its not very practable although it looks nice. it was like it when i bought it off a guy on this site 10 months ago.
i dont no much about suspension but when i bought it he said its adjustable at the back but not at the front.
so im thinking its on a 80/? kit as the front is low
i need the car to be practable but still look good
just after sum advise and pics of other peoples cars on here and what suspension they use.
seen a guy selling kits on club polo which seem to get good reviews.
still on 15s btw
Thanx!

Phil's car was pretty darn low:

No offense to the guy, but he seemed to spout a few different lines about what suspension he was using. Upon expressing my interest in the car, he told me it was on FK highsports, yet in other information he gave me, he said he was using the 80/80 FK kit off e-bay. From what I can fathom, he actually originally had just Eibach pro-kit springs on OE dampers, then swithced to highsports and found them too harsh, then switched to the 80/80 kit.

Sweet car though, it was my inspiration styling wise.

To answer your question, you should be able to fit of 60/60 springs and keep the dampers you have if you are happy with the ride. I believe you can buy them from Jackson tuning for <£100.

Phil's car was originally on Eibach Sportline springs, which he sold to me after buying the 80/80 kit.
