Hi all, Ive got cheap ebay coilovers on my car and theyer doing my head in being so soft (when I have one of the heaviest 306s ever made) as they are forever bottoming out and it rolls in corners like a boat so i have a load of questions to ask to decide on an upgrade
What poundage are the Ebay coilover springs as standard?
What free length and ID are they standard (I think its 60mm ID and 9" free length)?
How do I work out what poundage I need/want?
Will a higher poundage spring (with all other factors being the same) increase my ride height?
Can I use longer springs, like 10" or 12" and how does this effect the suspension?
Should I remove my helper springs or do these help the car go super low by stopping the spring dislocating when the car lifts?
The thread at the top of the damper shaft (that goes through the top mount) has a spacer of 10-15mm that looks like it can be removed, If i remove this will it help the car go lower and how?
