What springs??
« on: 26 May 2006, 16:47 »
I've purchased the eibach pro dampers for my 1.6 and i need some lowering springs.

 I want to keep as much comfort as possible, lower it at least 35mm and get the best handling results what springs should i go for?

Cheers Deano

Eibach -30's.  Very good springs.  That's low enough for me - Especially when I look at the ground clearance of the sump on standard springs!
