Are there any springs you can get that actually lower the car more than 35 40 mm, have heard tein arent great? I have apex but still sits high, so any suggestions?? Have sports shocks already :)

You'll just dramatically shorten the shocker life if you drop it anymore than 35-40mm which is why aftermarket springs makers sell them in that option. If you want lows you'll have to go custom Or coilovers.

Thanks in advance for all the opinions!

I have new Tein lowering springs waiting, very curious also to hear why those are not so good? Everybody knows, that with oem old schocks car won't become racecar, but rides lower. Compared to other brands, those can't be any worse or most worst springs with 40-55mm lowering :)

I assume he means that when you buy 55mm teins they won't actually lower the car that, prob more like 35/40.

I had a set in mine and has no issues, they handled well. But they don't lower as much as they claim

Can anyone recommend me springs to purchase for my first ever lowering of a car? (Links appreciated :D) cheers

i used Direnza lowering springs on my old one, wasnt mega expensive, load of warranty on them too, drops it 40mm and theyre still on the car with the new owner after 3 years so think theyre pretty good :)

someone please recomend me a good quality suspension setup thats simple (not coilovers) and not harsh but slightly firmer than stock glanza suspension



i want something that can easily deal with shitty potholed roads but improves the handling over stock.

I've ordered some RS-R springs from Japan and will get a set of KYB Excel-G struts to replace the stuffed Monroes in the front and KYB's in the back.

right i need some kit for my car lads lol rear shocks are nakkered and when i go over a bump at more than 30mph it decides it likes pointing a new direction.



would i be right in assuming something a setup like this would give me a nice firmer ride over standard but easily deal with potholes etc - key for me is ride quality. as long as its not too harsh.
