Title: lowering springs anygood ?
Post by: koopturbo on March 26, 2007, 07:13:36 PM
HI all, I\'m after some advice. I have a FD3 RS and i am happy with the standerd suspension set up apart from the ride hight. I would like to lower it alittle so it looks the part. But i\'m afrade if i get some lowering springs i will f*ck up the handleing!?

I\'m not made of money so coilovers is a no-go. So i\'m looking for some good lowering springs.

Anyone recomend any? Been looking Tein s-tec lowering springs on Ebay. Anyone used them?

Cheers

Leighton

Same here, the rear is not noticably lower, cant be arsed to change the fronts just yet:Giggle  Dont forget to get it tracked and alinged after you change them. The eibach springs are meant to be the best http://www.clubrx.org/default.asp?id=5&ACT=5&content=36&mnu=5
