Lowering

[j12 mkw]

Ive been thinking of lowering my sxi ever since i had it now as come the time its going to get done deffinatly but what is the best set up?was going to get the eibach 50/30 springs is this a good way to start?
p.s its got 18"kei rss wheels with proper offsets

[Hebs!]

am unsure whats best but will look good lowered :)

[wayne85]

best set up would be coilovers

[mike137]

ill agree with wayne, and at £250 on renn sport (for a corsa c) you certainly cant argue.

coil overs are over-rated imo all that cost better of on some 40/30 combo on adjustables
like mine :)

And I've always been a fan of the basic lowering kits lol :D

Had 40mm drop on PI Springs and GMAX Shocks on my Astra GTE - handling was great :cool:

[thedjse]

Yeah i love collies but also g-max ;)

tbh imo coilovers are great if u want ur car seriously low but if u just want to lower it slightly then save the cost and by a kit

[wayne85]

ooo what have i started here the reason i say coilovers is due to the fact there readily avaliable for the mk4 and are ride height and and hardness is also id have em on the cav but to have the fronts made itll b 365 each and 95 rear which too much but for mk4 astra gotta be able get for 250

[j12 mkw]

Can you adjust the ride height on coilovers on the rear ones or is it just the front

[j12 mkw]

Ordered the eibach 50/30 springs thanks foe the advice.

[OCDave]
