Lowering springs...

Anyone know why these are cheaper than a lot of the lowering kits? is it cos they're **** or cos they need shorter shocks (I was of the understanding that normal shocks will work with the likes of Eibachs or Bilstein...

Thanks

think normal shocks cope well with up to a 30mm drop but any lower than that and i'd be looking to change the shocks as well

I've got 30mm Eibachs on mine and the standard shocks are fine with them

Same as Andy says, any lower then I would change shocks

Cool, 30 mil seems to be the magic number! Course mine being a peasant model it will only be 15mm lower than an Sri so may have to grab a 40mm kit plus shocks! Damn!!

thanks dudes!

I looked at them before I got the Eibachs

I realised that I wanted a devent set and stuck with the major brands that I knew thats all

Don't want to put you off them lol
