classic suspension
 
hello folks need some advice, have fitted new kyb shocks
and eibach springs also new but has not lowered the car
fitted just over a weekand done about 100miles or more.
any ideas as to why this has not lowered the car.
thanks chris b.:)

Probably needs time to settle.
Are the spring lowered?
Check with your supplier.

I fitted eibach's on mine just after christmas, did take a while to settle, but still doesn't make a huge difference probably only about 10-15mm.

You know, huge lowering is not a good thing, though looks sexy I agree.

15mm down with just the driver (or nobody) in the car is one thing.
Put 4 bodies in there (about 300Kg) and it will go down again. Add luggage and it really looks good!

Mega lowered cars are a pain in the end. 20mm is more than enough.

Yeah i'm quite happy with mine the ride is still nice, alhough like 911 said really low cars do look cool.
I had a seat ibiza cupra sport before and lowered 40mm on PI springs, look good but was hard as hell and horrible to drive on bumpy roads.

i didn't really want to lower the car but they were
about the same price as standard springs,the frontend is a bit high
for my liking.

I used to have fiesta zetec s lowered 90mm on H&R coilovers with 17's. Looked the dogs and handled like a dream on very smooth roads, but get the slightest bump and your spine was knackered. It became too much in the end.
