P.i Springs On A Starlet

[streetracer_starlet]

Has anyone got p.i lowering springs on there starlet ep91???

I have just ordered a set that lower the car by 40mm but my mates say it'll drop about 45-50 coz there p.i springs ! Is this true? whats the handling like? is the ride harsh ?

thanx

I was going to go with PI springs before i got my gmax springs that lowers by 40mm, the front of my car seems low, but the back is still really high :cacker:

Yes it does make a hell out of difference in the handling and yes to a harsher ride, watch out going over dipped drains, they are a killer :P

I think all lowering springs do the same job, its just the name innit.

What starlet do you have? If its a normal Si or something then you are going to notice the height much better, as in having the SR lowered standard by 25mm already lowered so might not seem as low as you want it.

But show us some pics when u get them done

not all springs are equal...

PI springs are pretty good for small light cars (like the starlet), but useless on larger cars..

Spax are more of a comprimise, with a softer ride

Eibachs are very good, but a little stiff over bumps..

Depends what your looking for..

From my point of view in what I experienced...

PI springs are alright on big cars, from experience in my brother's Bmw lowered with PI springs and they are an alright ride in them, now thats a big car, a saloon.

Spax in my mates MR2, totally bumpy ride

Eibach is on my mates Honda civic hatch and it's not that much of a bumpy ride, not that stiff over bumps too.....

It really is up to you starletboy, could be different feel in a starlet..

i'll post pics as soon as the springs and wheels are on. Speedline chronos in anthrecite 15". going for the jap street style, subtle but hard (looking).

I had PI's on the Glanza for a little while was vow but a harsh ride and a bit skitish i'd recomend uprayed shox to match.

i put cobra springs on my glanza,their not bad at all much better than the eibachs i had on it first.
