After market springs and standard shocks

[Phil S]

Now that I've had my cambelt done and the ball joint recall work sorted :-D it's time to improve the handling on my V6 sport. I'm looking to drop the car a little (25 - 30mm) and firm up the ride, but without it being too harsh (my 14mnth old daughter may not like it!). I can't really afford to replace the shocks at the mo so am really just looking for some springs - so my question is has anyone found a decent aftermarket set of lowering springs that would do the job and still work ok with the standard shockers?

One word.... EIBACH. They're well respected. Ritch_W has a set, as does Scottish Ian. They both report better looks, improved handling *AND* improved comfort!

i have 2 kids - 18month & 4 yrs and it doesnt bother them - infact comfort is improved!!!!

do a search on eibach and you see loads of posts (mainly my rants about how good they are!!!) :D

Phil don't forget to look in the discount section of the "member's area" as i think the new one myself and strangebat got may come in handy for you? :D

Cheers, thank for the advice - Eibach's it is then!

I would do the shocks too. Standard ones are just .... hmmm .... ordinary.
