I have 50mm lowering springs on mine, could post a pic to help you decide if the height is enough/too much?

[SgtRich]

that would be good if you could put picture up

 

[karbineftw]

That is on a 50mm drop.

 

[SgtRich]

thanks for reply, which do you think would be the best make to have for springs? or even what make of springs do you have? and how comfy is the ride?

 

[swoggles]

think u shud get 60mm all round,looks good,not to low either

Yeh I removed the mudflaps. Came to my senses. Don't want to hijack the thread but just one small can. MSG me if you need any help
The springs didn't have a make on them and I haven't been out in the car sinse I lowered it as passing my test and insurance,,,,

glad u asked that question coz ive been looking at their springs too! but they dnt seem to be accurate on how much it lowers the car . it said 20-60mm lol which is useless really!! im only goin 40mm cz i dnt want the ride too be too solid as i have a freind who has 60mm all round and he told me although it looks great its a pain in the ass to drive day to day.

20-60 means it lowers front 20 and rear 60 or other way around I thought?

yh thats what i would have thought with the 20 - 20. but im looking at jamex sportsline shocks and springs, i hear that they arent solid, i heard they are still comfy to drive around on, karbine, u lowered urs by 50mm? did it change the drive?

 

[karbineftw]

I haven't been out in my car. Not once on public roads so I couldn't tell you

 

[SgtRich]

ahh no worries, anyone else know what the ride feels like? i personally dont think the quality of the ride would be affected

IME of Jamex's Corsa springs, the ride is bouncy and harsh.

 

[SgtRich]

yeah, ive read reviews about them, and apparently they are really bad for comfort, how about gmax, they sound good, a 60mm drop wouldnt be so bad would it?

 

[carmad01]

ive got a 60 mil drop o mine with gmax springs and it has got even lower over the months and speed bumps are a problem once you go past 60

TBH i think 45 front and 40 back it will look a lot better
