Whats the best way to lower my Vr6 ?
I want to keep the comfort ride that ive got already but need to lower it as im sticking some 17's on it and want it sit right :)
Can i put standard shocks on it with new lower springs ?
Whats the best springs to get ?

IMHO eibach are the way to go for comfort. 30mm drop so quite subtle. Not sure about keeping standard shocks on a VR6 tho.

I would recomend going for new shock s as well as springs, as standard springs are not designed to work with lower springs.
-
what would you recommend. like Burnsy above, i don't want to compromise ride comfort either. I'll definitely be using Eibach springs cos i know from experience they're good, but what shocks to go for?

I got mine as a set, they are koni.
Not sure exactly what model etc they are.
One thing I will say tho is that the kit I bought from a guy who works for GSF (Did not buy them from GSF) was meant to lower my car by 40mm, I measured it against count vons car last weekend and newark and confirmed my suspicions that the car was actually lower, and it actually 2 inches lower so about 52-55mm.
Another thing to bear in mind is speed bumps and ramps on multi storey car parks, I have great fun with both.
Can post a picture of my car next to a standard ride height mk3 if you want?
-
that'd be cool mate.
