I'd definitely look at lowering your car. It's highly improves the handling and looks of your car.

I really wanna get it done. How much do you think I should drop it?
I know over so much I'll need shocks as well as lowering springs.

And apparently coil overs make your comfort level drop below par.

wrong

correctly set up damping rate and rebound rate coilovers will be better for handling than normal shock and spring setups

my eibach coilovers are also comfier than other springs only and shock and spring setups iv had in the past, such as spax, koni fsd's with eibach springs etc

its all in the quality of the product, not the type of product

I dont plan on spending alot of money though
how much did they cost you?

what about 30mm lowering springs maybe?

and how much does tracking cost everytime you change your coilovers?

I have 30mm springs and can be a bit bouncy especially on the great roads we have in Durham. Why would you want to keep changing the height?

ranson90 · Post by **ranson90** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 6:53 pm

I wouldn't but I know with coilovers you can. And i'm to believe you have to get your car sorted for tracking if you put springs/coilovers on. How much does this cost do you know?

what kind of springs you got on? does it make any better look good?

Around about Â£30 I think but I have a mate who works in a garage so get things done for pints lol

springs are good but with coilovers you can mess changing your style slammed one month higher few months later, springs i often found left me disappointed with coilovers you get em just as you want! From experience cheap coilovers are as good as Â£700 ones for road use, so unless you plan on racing on a track dont waste Â£100s on dear set up believe me! I got TA Technics and they just as good as KWs i had on my astra!

ranson90 · Post by **ranson90** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:01 pm

with my default alloys. which are 14" or 15" maybe im not sure... i think i'de prefer coilovers, the ability to smack the front down or just the back down or pop it back up when i want seems good. Know of any good brands or cheap but good brands I can look out for?

plus with coilovers you can drop til you shop.

yep thats them you just gotta grease the springs up well or they creak apart from that mint value!
