Rob84 Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Can anyone offer me some much needed advice on what lowering springs are good value for money, that improve the handling and offer a 40mm drop?? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I´m looking at chassis dynamics cause i´ve been getting informatrion for the last few months about whats best, seems to have had the most positive comeback. Thats also going onto a mk6 5door. I´ll be putting them on within the next few weeks so ui can tell you what i think if your in no rush!!! Theres also Spax but they only do a 35mm spring kit.I´ve heard that both Gmax and Pi are to soft, but don´t know for a fact just what i´ve been led top believe. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 i can't really compare different sets of springs cos i've only ever used just springs to lower a car the once, i just put a set of spax springs on my motor -40mm drop it looks lovely, braking for corners is no longer needed and the ride quality is no worse than before so from me they come highly recomended. seen them priced anywhere between £90 - £115 a set but i paid less than shelf price cos of trade discount so if u know a man who can or know how to shop well then u should be able to get a decent price on a set and IMO they well worth the money. just be carefull fitting them though, i put mine on and i've got a hell of a knock on the back now but everything is tight nothing seems out of place with it so i'll carry on regardless until i'm back at work tomorrow and have access to proper big hammers etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps I have the G-max ones, I got the spring/shock kit with a 40mm drop. I cant compare to others on the market but they are a hell of an improvement on the Ford ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanSi16v Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 i went ex-low (60mm) on pmc Springs and shocks. The car is a lot stiffer compared to when i just had g-max springs. If ur planning on after market bumpers etc, don't do 60mm. i just got furys ft bumper measured it up on the car 2day and it sits 2cm off the floor Need bigger wheels ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
