I know a few of the guys on here have lowered their Bravo's and so far everything seems to have worked fine since?

How though, has the ride comfort be effected? Is the ride more harsh and bone crunching? Or is there not much of a difference? I'm currently running on the 17" alloys in an Active Sport.

The reason I ask is that today I had to transport some bags of concrete mix in the car and once loaded up the Bravo was sitting about 30mm lower than normal. It looked very nice sitting at that level so I have decided to go ahead and lower the Bravo.

However, the one thing that may put me off is if the ride quality becomes very harsh. I do alot of driving and don't won't to be shattering my spine everytime I do. I enjoy a sporty, tight, planted feel when driving but don't want to be feeling as if I've hit a 6" pothole everytime I go over a small pebble.

Hi Bravoh. I'm also going to lower mine about 30mm aswell and was wondering the same but also my thought is that because we are going to lower a new car then I'm assuming a 30mm drop shouldn't be too noticeable because they are working with new shock absorbers and not an old car on say 10 year old shocks that are half knackered, thanks to our perfectly bumpy and potholed uk roads.

Hi Mate

I have an active sport 90bhp and lowered mine using spax springs (30mm front and 40mm rear) looked great (see pic below and ride quality in my opinion is no different than before.

hope this helps?

I have mine lowered by 40mm front and rear on APEX springs and I find it alot harder than my standard DYNAMIC suspension..... maybe the sports are a wee bit harder to start with. But the car now handles like a gokart

My car is on 18" with 235x40 tyres

Yeah that was how mine looked this morning. All achieved with 8 bags of cement mix from DIY store

It makes the Bravo look great! I think I will order some lowering springs.

It seems as most haven't experienced to much of a difference in ride quality and those that have it isn't a break your bones into a million pieces of a change

Is there any makes of springs I should avoid? Poor quality etc?

If you want the same look as mine go for the spax springs 30mm front 40mm rear from euro car performance.
