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.

the springs are lowering ones,bought from scoobyworld
thanks chris.

 

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.

IMHO: Graham

 

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.
chris,

 

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.
