best cheapest way to lower my 182 ff for road use

[Covps2blue]

Guys,

I want to fit some turinis and then lower the car on the lowest budget possible but still want a comfortable ride, not hard!

What is the best options to go for?

I would like to spend 300 quid, so may have to scout second hand parts.

Cheers
George

Also what is a sensible height to go for? I love the look of christophers car. Will i deffo need trophy turinis?

 

[Fred@BTM]

^looks cool, its horrible to drive though!

 

[Covps2blue]

Fred are they springs? Or coilovers?

springs

 

[Fred@BTM]

Christophers is GAZ coilovers, seriously, its too low, the wheel archs cut into the tyres haha

 

[Covps2blue]

Would the ride be really hard then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its f**king terrible, so bad i only got 2miles from the workshop in it, turned round and took it back

Cheers Fred, well I will go a bit higher than that. I do like the idea of coilovers, are they harder in ride comfort than springs? Soz for all the questions.

When you go as low as that you have to avoid any sort of large object in the road. Scrapping subframe on speedbumps and next to impossible to get up any sort of curb with a splitter on!

'Comfortable' ride is not that low! Been in a cup with the springs as mentioned, decent ride height and comfort wise was great for the road. Handled pretty well too.
