Anyone tested a set of theas or recommend a better set?
Had a set of the cheaper -40mm ones off them on my estate on bilstein dampers and they were (are) fapping awesome, far better than cullys spax springs on his estate
Do you have a photo of them fitted? just want to see the hight
BearBen runs cheap ebay 60mm. They give a good drop on the diesels because they are so heavy... the ones for the petrol fit 1.4 1.6 and 1.8 so when i put them on the 1.4 40s were more like 25s :/
It's recommended you get springs that were designed for the weight of your car. :roll:
I ran 106 40mm springs, dropped my xsi by 80mm lol

I hate living in this area sometimes..


Yup! Exactly that dan
What in Somerset? Come off it lol My grandma used to live in Somerset, a sleepy little village, far removed from London or even south eastern cultural 'elements' :roll:

As for lowering springs, I can't imagine why one would chose to compromise ride quality for a couple of notes this way or that way. The basic thing is to get the right spring for the engine for a start, because as we all know there is more to springs than just how much they lower the car.

If you get springs for a smaller engined version they will be too soft and bottom out quicky because the spring rate is obviously not designed for the heavier weight :roll:

I got progressively wound, powder coated Jamex lowering springs for £60 from Performance 3000 on Ebay and they are still doing a great job some 14 months later.

They still look as new as well. There are far better areas to save money on than springs.
i'm going to get a set of springs off of him as i know him, but he runs those springs on his '6, just not as low as that..

I'm shocked, I put 60mm 106 springs on my old Dturbo and it was only about 70mm?

Did it handle ok?
It wasn't bad actually, it was bouncy as feck but other than that it was reasonably comfortable and went round corners alright!
Fair enough. I was looking into this before I got my coilovers!
