Suspension - Nicks306 - 02-11-2014
Hello everyone.
Ive already done a topic on this a few months ago.
Im still running ta technix coilovers but im going to get some bilstein b4's and eibach springs.
As i didnt lower the coilovers myself i have no idea what spring size i need? Or to get xantia shocks or pug ones. Heres my front if anybody could roughly guess?

Not sure what you mean by size? Drop? If so, Eibachs only come in ~35mm.
Also, spend more on tyres before buying Eibachs imo.

I think we both know he meant Xsara though.

Yeah i do mean drop, how come spend more on tyres? (Suspension novice) even tho i re-built my rear axel myself :\
Haha yes yes i did mean xsara
RE: Suspension - Toms306 - 02-11-2014
Because those Landsail budgets will hide any gains you'd get from uprating the suspension!

People underestimate a good tyre. Whats the point in having all this fancy suspension if the single thing keeping you stuck to the road is no use?

Very good point so ill sort my tyres out then. But what shall
I do about the height on the front? Would 30-35mm be ok?
And xsara or 306 shocks??
RE: Suspension - Niall - 02-11-2014
Yeah for handling, you don't want to go any lower than 40mm IMO
Suspension - Nicks306 - 02-11-2014
Ok thanks what about shocks??
Suspension - Nicks306 - 03-11-2014
On an off chance from the pictures how low do you think i am now?
RE: Suspension - Toms306 - 03-11-2014
