Tuning Active vs Sport (suspension)

[RobBravo]

I'm looking to lower my Bravo/ uprate the suspension.. I have the poverty spec Active.

I can either just buy a set of 30mm Eibach springs, or fit the sports suspension off the Sports version?

Which is better?

How much does the sports suspension lower the car by vs standard?

Thanks

I'd go for the Eibach progressive rate springs, the standard sport setup is very harsh.

When I lowered my AstraVan (40mm) the shocks faded and worn down within about 6 months, it handled like a boat round bends until I uprated to GSi shocks.

Would the same happen with my Bravo?

I've never driven any other Bravo apart from my own with standard sports suspension, I'm very curious what the ride is like.
I find my Bravo sport to have probably the harshest suspension in any car I've ever owned or driven…its in joint first with the Mini John Cooper Works GP (factory set suspension) which is almost an identical ride.

Id get springs that are designed to hold the weight of your car.
The sport suspension would probably make it sit higher at the front due to having less weight.
Its a no brainer, go for the eibachs.

Eibach pro's it is!
