[Glasgow Rangers]

I am just about to buy my springs but need some advice. Should I go with H&R Sport or Super Sport? I don't want a huge drop in ride height. Would the Sport springs look good enough? The car is going to be fitted with CSL 19' reps.

Pics would be a great help if anybody has any.

Thanks

aren't HR springs mega expensive... just go for Eibach sports line for about £150.

I've got m6 reps on(18") with Spax Springs..... 45mm front and 40mm at the back. All seems well for me

OP you are on the right track with the H&R's, do not be led astray as H&R's are probably your best spring for this car. I just installed the H&R Sports and they sit perfect, they only dropped the car enough to get rid of the wheel gap. The H&R Race springs are very aggressive and will drop it a lot further.
Also another great feature of these springs is the ride quality, I have an xi and the H&R's take bumps better than the stock springs. I will be putting my 19's back on in the spring and will run a 10mm spacer for the more aggressive look. I will have to roll my fenders a lil I think, but without the spacers I wouldnt have to roll at all. GL with your search

Hi

I recently lowered mine with the Eibachs Sportline Pro Kit, it's a nice subtle drop. The ride is also very good, excellent price for a good product, you shouldn't have any problems but just watch the drop on those 19"'s

There is a link here to some pics

Mine is running H&R Sports on M Sport spec Touring. Also ran 20mm rear spacer and 12mm front with no rubbing or rolling of arches needed. H&R Super Sports will be too aggressive and you'll get clearance issues on speed bumps, kerbs, ramps etc. Ride height and quality is perfect on Sports. Eibach or H&R is much the same cost and quality. See my garage for photos.

quality is the same but now sure about costs...

H&R sports springs.. (£250)

Eibach sportsline... (£150)
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pag...sub_category=1

so u can clearley see there is about a £100 difference!

if u opt for the eibach u can have them fitted with some change to spare for the price of just buying the HR springs.... u do the maths!!

The H&R's must have gone up in price recently. When I was looking a year ago they were around £180. However I paid £20 + £15 delv for mine

All you guys that have lowered your car....has it improved handling, body roll etc or purely cosmetic?

Handling is much more composed, less body roll, squat and dive.

Stability systems dont interfere so early and it looks great !

Thanks for the reply....i really dont know much about suspensions set ups, have you just changed springs or have you fitted a complete suspension set up to acheive this ?
I'm looking for a solution to reduce the body roll on my E90 LCI and improve high speed stability on the autobahn....not too bothered about looks although a drop that wont affect the car on speed bumps/when fully loaded would be nice. Can springs alone make that much difference?
What springs would you recommend?

Many thanks

Steve
