front suspension - johnnygomez - 06-12-2016
planning on lowering the front by 30mm soon. (1.8 16v) read so many threads recently regarding this just got myself well confused.
is the (1.8 16v) a sports suspension if so would a decent lower spring work ? or would i be better off going kyb/bilsten struts ?
not building a rocket racer just a decent ride ... maybe one or two gentle track days.

I have bilstein b12 kit on my 6 it's pretty comfy ride and 30mm lower too

I don't know if the 1.8 16v is sports suspension, i don't think so... Highly recommend the b12 kit, but i know you're on a budget so i'd actually not bother unless there's a problem with your current shocks.

cheers guys, yep b12's bit outta my budget. going to get it up and running properly first and run it around see whats what.

Depends if it's a 1.8 meridian or a 1.8 xs. If it's the xs the suspension should already be decent. If you're tight but want it a bit lower I would just stick some eibach springs on for the 30mm drop.

cheers Eeyore its a 16v meridan
