pik request lowered on h&r springs please

[Ed...]

Lol the 18's fill the arches better no doubt but u still get a gap on standard suspension, lowering 30 mm on eibachs or spax I'd say Is the cheapest way to go lower but they compramise heavily on ride comfort

Woody, you know what the roads in Sheff are like, i couldn't take harder suspension its bad as it is!

I've been on the K-Tec site having a look; you guys were discussing the H&R set-up but i don't know which parts i'd need. Is it just lower springs or do i need the Coilover suspension kit too?

the H&R springs on standard suspension is no stiffer than standard, the car retains its bouncy ride. and you need just the springs if your lowering using springs.

 

[kosluk]

"bouncy ride" really? I wouldn't say the standard 197 was bouncy, not on standard roads anyway.
Thanks for the info Ryan.

the liquid yellow one looks alot higher than the red 1 any more piks?

 

[Ed...]

yeah i know what the roads in shef are like "steel city" . . . . . ive renamed "speed bump city" lol

u would just need the springs, coilovers include new shocks aswell.

:thumbsup:"Pot-hole City" too!

Heres what i'm thinking then:
R26 wheels with 225/40 rubber.
H&R Lowering Springs (30mm all round).
ECU upgrade - up 15 bhp & 22 Nm of torque (from a friend at Tech9 motorsport)

What do you think? - Wanna keep it simples

 

[ryan197]

more boucy then cup set up

 

[kosluk]

I'm old ryan, my back can't take it... lol.
But i know what you mean about difference, but Sheffield's roads are just so bad the Cup would shake me / you to bits!

 

[ryan197]

to be honest mate, the H&R are perfect on the standard shocks does really change the feel of them at all.

 

[pritchardR27]

[pritchardR27]

does it noticeably lower the car in the real life m8? and did you notice any difrence in handeling? looks spot on very tempted by the wheels too lol

 

[ryan197]
