Hi,
I was searching for similiar topics, but i havent found the right answer, that i was seeking.
I drive 1.6 16v 2002 5dr Stilo, atm on 215/45-17 wheels, and the gap between wheel and arch just killing me. I was thinking about lowering, so i would like you guys to tell me your opinion or suggestion.
Springs - cheaper, but i prob wont be able to replace those myself, and i wouldnt be able to drive during winter with lowered car, our winters are just too bad , So i was thinking about coilovers, lower car on summer time and fully up car on winter, with minimal drop. Would that be ok? if i want to buy coils do i need something else to replace?
Coils lowers by 30mm front 20-25mm rear, even when they are fully un-wounded, would that be a problem if i got 195/65-15 winter wheels? (had those only for 1 winter season)
other though was that i should get 215/40-18 wheels to cover some of the arch gap. But on this one i would need a rly honest opinion. my 17" tyres are brand new, so buying something else would be to costly.
And what about 18" on 1.6 Stilo? how the ride changes? I know that the comport will be worse, but what about power? any changes on that?
And last feww random questions.
Is there any worthy sport air filters to orginal box, rather than normal ones?
I want to change exhaust silencer, i want double look, what i need to know? Can i just buy an universal one?
Thank you for your time, and i hope ill get the right answers
