30 mm lower car
Hi 2.2 i-CTDI Type S GT,
I drove the car without shorter springs only last (06) January as a test dealer car. I ordered the car at the dealer with all features including the shorter springs from H&R (like I have done it with my last 3 Hondas). I was also thinking about an adjustable suspension kit (shocks with threads) but my friends told me, that this would be too hard.
I´m satisfied with the comfort. It is not too hard. I have adjusted the air pressure in the tires as followed: front 2.3 bar / rear 2.1 bar. Thats enough for the wear and good for the comfort. The car is now (with the shorter springs) more stable on the rear axle at higher speed (from 180 km/h-210 km/h) and it is rolling much less around the length axle. The nervous rear of the car comes from the weight distribution to the front (under seat tank) and the torsion beam (the only sad detail of this great car).
I took the photos just after I got the car in May 06 (this time only 20mm lower). Now it is 10 mm lower due to the daliy compression to the springs. You have only aware of the low clearance at high angle ramps etc.
