Having fitted the 18's recently, in most angles she still appears fine, but coming out of Sainsburys today there was definate gapage between rubber and arch.

So just "feeling the waters" really.

I would only want to lower by no more than 30-35mm.

Is there a list of suspension/spring manufacturers, how much they lower by, and a rough idea of price?

If not anyones opinions on experience of their own lowering of the Coupe by the above amount would be most appreciated, and of course a rough idea of costs involved - would probably fit myself.

I appreciate if it's lowered comfort will suffer. Although I'd really like to use a system which minimised this negative effect on lowering.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I had my coop lowered while have 18" on her..

i had eibach springs..

with 4 persons in the car you must drive "easy" but with two.. no rubbing in the arches..

cheers

coen

yeah ive 18"s on and eibach springs lowered 30mm and the only time they rub is when iam reversing out of my drive on to the road which is lightly down hill when my front wheels are on full lock they have never rubbed any other time even with 4 in the car but iam only running 215/40/18 tyres.

I had 225/35/18

cheers

So Eibach is the preferred choice?

What are my other options - I've heard good comments regarding comfort/handling of coilovers?

Once again, advice would be greatly appreciated.

i use cobra springs and thought they were the softest option i had been in, but they are the least drop too, about 20mm ish

eibach is the preferred choice.

the cheapest is apex springs, i think they are less than £100, do a search on the net for an apex supplier.

Im running apex springs 35mm drop they were £109 feel ok to me but does make the ride little harder hence more rattles and squeeks inside.

Yes Eibach are the preferred choice to lower your car to 30mm, however if you are going down that route then you want to change the shocks also. Otherwise you will get a very bumpy trashy ride.

I have had Eibachs fitted for a while on standard dampers and the ride is harsh and horrible. Potholes are earth shattering.

Shocks are expensive and the best, Bilsteins, are very expensive.

So just read around before taking the plunge.

You wont be disappointed with Eibachs

If you can test drive a coop with them on, then you will be in the best position to decide.

Has anyone any idea about the coop in this pic.

Wonder how low that is and what springs etc it has got.

Black Le - still the best looking coupe (if you ignore the interior and replace slatted grille for a plus)
