onnaj1000 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hi,I have a ep71 1.3 XL with a Haslbeck body kit. Will post a project page later on.There are now AP springs mounted i think which should lower 40 mm but they seem to lower 50-60. That In combination with that body kit makes it too low especially when I'm going to mount my Ronal Turbos wheels with 195/45/15 wheels which have 1.1 cm less high as the 155/80/13 I have on now.Therefore I'd really like to buy 25 mm lowering springs or 30 mm at max. Is there anything available?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Rear is so light that I don't that will never drop 50-60mm compared to oem springs and schocks. Front maybe lower more than rear. Where have You found so much lowering spings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where have You found so much lowering spings? Hi, I'm not sure they lower 50-60. They should lower 40 (brand is AP) but i think it's a tad more. Maybe it looks while it has a little bigger then stock tires (155/80/13). But i'm hitting bumps easily and next week i'm going to mount some Ronal Turbos with 195/45/15 tires, so that would lower the car an additional 10 mm. Here are some pictures of how the car looks at the moment: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Nice P7 Your spings or shocks are not in good condition or You have allready lowering springs, most of P7 are tractors. I think 25-30mm lowering springs are most common, never seen bigger mm as new. Consider coilovers, can adjust much better riding height, but needs big moneys, lowering springs are estimated 100-200 euros. Oem 13" wheels are so small anyway, looks horrible, I have now ones in my car What offset are those Ronals and how wide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mine as standard with old suspention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 And this with newer rear shocks and old springs, front with VW coilovers, so ugly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will be a tight fit I think with the lowering but should be possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
