I got gmax springs and shocks... 40mm drop.. give a nice ride height, handles well and not too bumpy... Maybe im just lucky..

iv heard thac coil ovbers are the way to go if u want comfort an good handeling, try fk coilover from pvd for good price

Gonna have to shop around now for them Koni Yellow adjustables.

Really do hope they sort my problem, cant have me women being put of by the stupidly bumpy ride, well its not really the bumpyness its the banging I get more than owt.

icy the fk suspension kits are well good, excellent ride and very good handling.

Althought the 40mm drop is about 50 at the front and 40 on the rear (and no i didnt get the wrong kit, theres sum1 else on hear thats had the same problem)

ok.. i'll make mine about 6 then ;)

mine are about 5cm long,

how long do you think they should be? i dont want my arches rubbing on my wheels at all :(

I think I would into some different shocks then, cheers for the advice.

got mine from demon tweeks the code for them is bs004 made my powerflex, think they were 12 quid plus p and p

when u get them they are too long so u have too shortern them with a hacksaw etc..

so where can i get bigger bump stops from then?

i cant even get more than 2 up in the car! (inc me) which is pish.

But then about a year ago novagte went up the back of me.. and i think ever so slightly twisted my back end.. it only rubs on 1 side (the side he hit me).

referring to both of you really.

i have 17's lowered 60mm and i never get rubbing even 5 up, plus ive got a 5 dr which has smaller rear archs, you will find your wheels are rubbing on the inner arch which is why you dont think you can mod it anymore, but you can cos i have and it works, basically you need to use slightly longer bumpstops in the rear shocks. this limits the travel hence the wheels dont touch, plus it still sits at the same ride height, and the back sticks to the road like glue :):)

Kris... that refering to me?
if i get soft shocks.. wont it rub more?
its already rubbing like a whore on the back (17's on), and the arches cant be modded any more.

spax springs are stiffer than gmax, your problem is the shocks not the springs fella, i recommend getting koni yellow shocks, then you can have them on soft or hard and they give excellent road holding even on soft.

So what do I do??

If it bangs then the bumpstops ARENT doing their job properly. Coilovers will give a MUCH better ride at 60mm, as you know I have spax RSX now, drop me a u2u and we can meet up, i'll take you for a spin if you like and you can properly experience it...

Problem being Eibach dont do 60mm lowering springs.

I was thinking of going for swapping the springs for Spax SSX springs found here http://www.larkspeed.com/pages/productpages/sus_spax_ssx.html to drop it 60mm still but on my Pi shocks, and then getting Spax shocks as found here http://www.larkspeed.com/pages/productpages/sus_spax_shock.html.

Do you think that will sort my problem??

ne1 recommend fk shocks?
thinkin of orderin them in next few days
mine rall fcked theyre leakin

Billstein with eibach springs

Well I would say it is bumpy, it bangs like hell, not pleasent to be in really unless your nailing it round corners.

Puts the women off the car when its so bumpy.

Can anyone recommend a good setup for a 60mm drop that gives a decent ride without all the banging.

you havenbt experienced bumpy, try sitting in my car.

Get some adjustable dampers and set them to the kind or ride you like

At this moment in time the setup is:-

Pi 30% uprated shocks
GMax -60mm springs
Running standard bump stops on the front.

The ride is as bumpy as hell, the handling is amazing but I cant cope with how damn bumpy it is at this moment. It bangs over holes and stuff, basically getting to the point where I hate going down certain roads.

So what do I do??

I think I need coilovers to get a decent ride on 60mm drop, but it may be that I just need better springs and dampers.

What do you think, if its just better springs and dampers needed then that alright because I can buy them seperatly and sort the problem out over time.

Cheers for any advice,
Sean.
