what springs

[a4ndy]

i have a 172 cup and am wanting to lower the car. what is the best springs available, how low should i go and where is the best place to get the springs from.

apex 40mm from motorsportworld.co.uk or john2modified.

although there is an apparent 4 wk wait on the springs from apex. im waiting for a set.

mate,
i've just fitted PI 25mm front and 15mm rear springs to my '03 ff 172. lots of people on here **** them off for being cheap rubbish but i cant fault them. the car feels much tighter and there is no body roll. for the price i don't think you can go wrong. i cant comment on other more expensice springs but really cant see them being much better unless you're gonna use the car solely for the track...

Did they lower the car by much. Hows the ride/handling compared to standard.

if you're wanting lower, dont get eibach pro's - they'll only lower 10mm at best. Better than std, but not good for the looks.

found less roll i find she handles fine , looks just right no gaps in the arches and my one is still on the o/e dampers

I realise the pics don't show much, but the car performs 10 times better.
Braking and cornering feel better/sharper.

The overall appearance looks a lot better now too, without being aggressive. Basically looks like a sports car should.

And its all on std shocks at the mo. It all feels good at the mo but will get the shocks done soon.
