We sell Eibach, Apex, Koni, Fk etc. Personally i'd go for the 50mm Eibach ones

theres -50 eibach sportlines on PVD for £115 only thing is u will need different dampers that standard as they wont last long with that drop

do pi offer a good ride then cos i don't want it too hard and bouncy especially round where i live, bloody pot hole city round our way !!!

Also if i went for 17's of an offset of 45 with 205/40's on and lowered it 40mm ON SPRINGS would i still be able to take ppl in the back after doing the obvious de-bolting ??

If i chose eibach springs, do they do the damper sets for a resonable price or would it be better to hold on till i can afford a full set ??

^^^^^^ there u have it. from someone who know about springs, as he sells them for a living.

personally i thought gmax weren't too bad, but then again i havn't tried the others!

eibach do a lower drop than that. They have a new range out called sportline.

PI are a good spring never had any complaints with them.
Apex never seem to be accurate.
Avo are good, no complaints.
ROC, also ok, no complaints.
H&R, excellent springs but pricey.
G-MAX, DONT BOTHER. Just shite but do what they say on the tin

Gimmie a shout and il do ya a deal. Im doing Pi springs cheap at the moment.

i have chassis dynamics aprings, they are pretty good, nice drop.

they are pretty buggered after 3 years on the car so im after some new ones.

also the paint came off after about 3 months which isnt too good

i got -40 gmax springs on 17's. the ride becomes harder and bouncy, but it's not too bad

i want to buy some lowering springs for my 1.0, but i can only afford springs. Which springs are best to have when you are still running standard shockers ?? and which will lower a true 40mm all round??

cheers
