Lowering springs

Post Thu Oct 19, 2006 4:37 pm

I've just changed a new set of Bilstein OEM stock dampers (black colour), but then I feel that my car is a bit tall and would like to lowering it for 20mm. Is it possible to change the lowering springs only, and keep to 95% new stock dampers? Or do I need to change the whole set of suspensions?

yeah you can change just the springs no problem as your only wanting a small drop

So, which brand you suggested?

H&R or Eibach.

Both available from the Zone Shop

would have to agree with sal

either h&r or eibach

tried and tested by many people on here
not the cheapest on the market but then you get what you pay for

h&r,s are supposed to be superb with bilstein shocks

gotta do mine soon and these are a definate contender if i dnt go straight for the cupkit

I know I have posted it a couple of times but I do have this on my iS and I think it is superb, quite firm but then I have it to drive, not as transport. Can't compare to much but I like what I have!
