Lowering 182 Sport

[mgba_182]

Hi all

My 1st post so go easy

Ive had the 182 for about 8 months now and love it, although having all my previous cars lowered I want the same for the clio.
My question is on just changing the springs rather than the whole shabang, ideally I would like to go the coilover route but cant really afford it unless you can recommend a reasonbly price set.

What springs to go for?? not bothered about fitting as i can do that

Cheers
Andy

Eibach Pro - lower only a bit 10mm

Eibach Sportlines - lower 30mm - BEST SPRING FOR THE ROAD BY FAR..!

Apex 40mm - BUT HORRID RIDE.

Got to agree, Apex can be a little too harsh for the road. I had Eibach Pro's on the 172 before I got the coilovers, they were superb and have driven a 172 on the Sportlines and there wasn't much in it, would definately recommend either the Pro's or the Sportlines, can't say the same about the Apex though.

Sorry, don't agree, Apex's are fine if wheels are kept standard. Slightly stiffer, but not 'harsh'.
