Technical spax springs

[scottc1088]

iv just bought my spax kit which was 2nd hand
on my car now iv got std shocks with apex -30mm springs and it looks pretty low
im just wondering if anyone knows how much the spax springs lower it by? is there more than 1 type of lowering springs that spax do?
i can get the code off the springs tomorrow if that will help
cheers

The code would be useful. Manufacturers claims and what they acutally lower by are often two different things.

Measure from the middle of the driveshaft to the top of the wheel arch with your existing setup, and then fit spax, leave to settle and then measure again.

yeh ill do that but was just wondering if anyone has any more info about the size, ill prob just end up fitting the spax and if it isnt as low aster its settled ill put the apex springs on

depends what springs they are, they make different drops

40mm spax drop is more like a 60mm drop
