ride is really good. not too hard and not too soft. feel much more in control of the car. although be warned, the rear only drops about 30mm. does look good but i was expecting 50 all round. im just about to invest in some spax 60mm rears to sit that bitch on the floor. :D

Cheers guys, those eibach ones look like the sort of thing i'm after, a bit more than I really wanted to pay though, £120!! I was expecting to pay about 70-80 for a set of springs..
VoYtO LeViCh: Whats the ride like with the eibach springs ? Do you have uprated shocks aswell ?

Cheers

Eibach Sportline - a lot better spring than anything Apex, Pi, etc.

Eibach manufacture Steinmetz springs, so they're going to be good.

Thanks Scott,
Again my main question is about the ride, would it be improved at all by raising the car only approx 10mm ?
And can you let me know how much a set of the Pi springs are inc. delivery please.

Cheers
Neil

apex 60mm kit will drop the car about 50mm

or as sugguested Pi do a 50mm drop.

We do both and both are available for next day delivery.

Regards

Scott

Thanks, would you recommend the PI Springs (or any other manufacturers)?
Also any ideas on how much (if any) the ride would be improved by raising the car 10-15mm ?

Thanks

Hi,
My GSi is lowered 60mm (i think, cos it was already done when I bought the car) and the ride is quite harsh, and I occasionally have trouble with the bumpers catching stuff because its so low.
I am thinking about raising the car slightly, as I recently had an MOT and the guy pointed out the cat had bash marks on it, and the harsh ride is kind of getting to me :lol:
The car only has 15" wheels so I don't want to raise it too much as I think it would look stupid, so, can anyone tell me if its possible to get 45-50 mm springs ?
And would going to 45-50mm drop make much of a difference to the ride comfort ?
It has got uprated shocks, and coilovers are not an option as I don't have the £££

Cheers :thumbs:
