[Bootygrabber]

Hey, can anyone give me advice on which ones are best for lowering and performance? seen a few...just dont know which ones to get :)

Also, best place for parts for the car? Not seen many shops that sell stuff for it :(

Any help would be great cheers

Try these. :D

Seriously tho. A lot of people recomend Eibach springs. A good compromise between firmness and comfort. If your putting stiffer springs on it`s always a wise idea to put uprated shocks on too. Otherwise you`ll be getting too much rebound. A good mix seems to be Eibach springs and uprated KYB shocks..

But you`ve got a very wide choice. Cheap springs are best avoided. It`s really a case of you pays your money and takes your choice.

As for links to shops etc. Hang around on the forum for a bit and you`ll pick up all sorts of links. eBay is also a good source of spares and related articles of bling. Happy hunting.

I was looking at tein spring as i have heard their coil overs are meant to be good but not sure bout the springs on their own...any advice on these?

Cheers again :)

[daktari]

Good product but a bit pricey IMO. Also coil overs tend to be a bit too firm. Not really had a look at the springs. But in real world terms you dont want anything too harsh. If you put 17`s on combined with stiff springs your car will look good but the ride quality will go all to hell. I`ve just gone back down to 16`s still with a 40 profile just to get some sort of control back. (!Removed! potholes ) Not to mention acceleration. 17`s really made it suffer.

hmmmm...thanks for info...was looking at 17's...but will look into 16's ;)

[daktari]

Sorry. Didn`t mean to influence you. Just leting you know what my experience was. Ultimately it`s down to what you want to do with your car.

i had 17" on my st202, no problems at all, as for lowering it, i personally wont again,it made the car far to uncomfrtable for my liking, ok on motorways and such , but as for dug up roads filled with tarmac all over the place , very very knocky.

I never had any probs with just the 17`s. It all went pearshaped when i put the springs on. Excellent on smooth roads but a real pain on normal ones.The combination just didn`t work. Big improvement with the 16`s

Got my st205 lowered with GAB adjustables running 18"s with 40 profiles.Yeah its a damn hard ride feeling everything on the road, but it handles excellent and is fun in the wet stuff :D but its all down to your own choice and what you want from your car. Its not as harsh as the 18"s with 35 profile that i had on my st182 though

comfort???? slam it and make it stiff as u can mate best way to push the car

juts ask bibbs the only movemnet he gets is from his tyre wall flexing

[cookci]

ive got spax springs with KYB shocks... i got these cos heard

they are best for ride quality!

running on 16's with 50 profile tyres = OK ride :)

[dawesy]

i know on the ST205, TRD springs are highly rated. gives the car a nice stance, rides nice and improves the handling
