To be honest way too hard for the roads we have in Turkey. Its bouncy on crap roads, and thuds going over speedbumps if im not going slow enough. Ive been looking to getting something that will give the same drop but with a less harsh ride, open to any suggestions. I feel its taken away some of the real world speed of the car.

Hi mate, what size alloys are they?
Is that a standard Engine like a 1.2? it's seems to be much lower than some other peoples with that set up?

My 2013 BlueGT lowered aprox 75 mm in the back and 40 mm in the front with Eibach Pro Street S Coilovers.
Sitting on 7,5x17" BBS RC324 ET35 with 195/40-17 Hankook S1 EVO K 107 tires.

How does everyone find the hr 25/40 springs? And did you have to redo the tracking after fitting the springs? Thinking of fitting them to my rline

Thinking of 35/55mm H&R

Will that remove the arch gap on a standard 1.2 Moda with no body kit?

Theyre very good...better than the 35/55's as they dont compromise the ride quality as much. Yes you have to get the tracking done everytime you remove a suspension component. Go for it, you wont regret it :D

Eibach sportline 25/35mm

I find these much more comfortable than the H&R's I had previously, this feels more like a sport suspension setup without the crashy ride.

It's not the conventional way of lowering but I like the way it sits...

They were for me, very crashy over bumps and was probably the main factor for my failed front shocker. The eibachs are much softer because they have that progressive spring rate. Nice and solid round corners but soft over bumps. Perfecct!

Its a custom exhaust made by Eurosport exhausts in rotherham. 3.5" tail pip with backbox and mid section removed, very raspy and sounds amazing!
