hi guys,

i am looking to lower my 2.2 and have only come accross 25mm drop.
is ther any other springs apart from this and if so where are they?

many thanks

those are the ones you want mate! personally the rear could with with a little more but the eibachs are awesome

Many people go for Eibach. It does make the ride better. I have just taken mine off and will put it up for sale soon.

ABP do lower Eibachs. Think they're about 30mm drop

I have H&R - car is great in drivability and lowered just enough - dont need more..

abp springs are no good for a 2.2 johnny the front springs arent strong enough

eibach

Is a 25mm drop suffice for both looks and hacking? How much is R r lowered by from factory ?

with the springs what happens to ride quality? Handling? Many thanks

 

[a5hy]

oh and i asked on another thread but pics of the stretched tyres please!

 

[a5hy]

Was that for me costal? Regarding stretched tyres"

apologies for interrupting.

when you guys say 'the ride is better' what do you mean by that? is it more comfortable? is it stiffer? is it less bouncy?

if i changed the oem springs to the eibach 15mm, what would be the ride will be like? I am after a comfy ride as there so many pot holes in london.

 

[sims0519]

I found it less bouncy, more stable when turning. It is not stiff by any means, just slightly firmer in my opinion.

I am not sure 25mm drop will make going over those massive speed bumps in London an easier job though.

sure was mate! for everyone eibachs are progressive and do make the ride softer at slow speeds

costel I don't know how to do that. I'm not techno minded can send u pic via mobile.
They are 7inch wide tyres on 8inch wheels if remember correctly.
Are you considering it?
