Which springs lower the most of the aftermarket tuning companies?

Sorry for the english

Romhog · May 29th, 2003, 02:20 AM

I would say H-sport are the best for this. it takes the front and back 1" down H&R only drop the back 3/4"

Johan99 · May 29th, 2003, 02:33 AM

Ok. What about Schnitzer or Eibach?

Eibach lower 30mm or 20mm dependant on the kit
Schnitzer lowers 30mm

Hope that helps chris

If 1000Euro is not too expensive and if you want very low,
i think adjustable Coilovers are a good choice.

My H&R's drop 1" on the front, and 1.2" on the back.

A company in Sweden had a kit that lowered 45mm. Maybe I go for those...

My KW V2s will go 80mm total but can really only go 50 or so mm before you start running into problems with wheel well clearance etc. Unless you are willing to modify wheel wells and fenders etc.

I have fitted the eibach springs and whilst they have only lowered the car about an inch it really helps the look of the car.Even better news is that the ride feels more supple than the standard setup and the handling has been really improved,you now feel completely in control of the car and it has lost the slight edginess I used to feel.
