Eibach, H&R or other
« on: 16 October 2006, 22:14 »
just thinking of ordering a suspension kit but cant decide, was liking the idea of eibach but then realised the H&R kit is a 60mm drop (will this be ok on standard arches and bbs ra's?) or can anyone recommend anything else, if anyone has got a pic of there car before was lowered and after would be greatly appreciated, many thanks

H&R are pretty much the cream so you can't go wrong with them. Are you going to buy the shocks/springs matched setup?

15" RA's and -60mm will be fine.

Mine has got a 60mm drop and bbs ra's 15ins, but has had the archers modded, would this be due to bigger wheels been fitted at some point? And just to be aware speed bumps are a problem at this point!!!

Looks a good price. As you are going lower than -40mm you may want to invest in some uprated ARBs at some point :)
