ive got konis for my series 2 and just due to buy some lowering springs, now can any one recommend a drop size? or a make of spring?

its years since ive had a good RST and im wanting to build a good one,

pictures of stance etc would be great, the car will be on 17s with 205/40s

thank you

 

30-35mm drop i've used Spax and PI both very good, but steer clear of Gmax as the rear will sit much lower than the front and scrub like fuck!!

 

pi are shite imo. Cobra are the daddys. Christian is selling his if they are still available, grab em.

 

what ilbs are the cobra? and where the best cheapest place to get them from?
i want to match some up with my B6 dampers but dont want too soft or too hard!

 

AJC, buy a Hacksaw, drop it as far as u want then!!

 

I've also used both of these without any problems and lasted well. Not expensive neither. Although I have only used both of these with 15" wheels.

 

I have used both pi and jamex and both have been fine and as karlos says no more than 30-35mm, jamex were the cheaper of the two though.

 

I did have PI springs but after 4 years one the the front springs snapped so I bought 40mm Spax.

 

i got g max there shit but think i got pi on the bonus not bad

 

lop a couple of coils of with the grinder crossy

 

what are the spax like? are they progressive springs or straight?

 

where are these cobra springs available from?

 

Christian at APT should be able to get them, or:

Hi morph, I only changed the fronts to spax's and lefted the rears as they are because it sat perfect and didn't rubb, but I wish it sat a tiny bit lower at the front with the spax's for it to look spot on, I do have to say the ride at the front is nice and kind of soft and driveable than the PI's I think only because it sat a bit higher hope this info helps.

 

Halfords sell cobra springs, can get my mate lee to get you some discount on a set andy.

i've always liked spax stuff, and eibach pro kits are fantastic. not sure if they do them for RST's tbh

 

I bought 30mm Eibachs along with Koni shocks about 5 years ago and it hardly lowered my car with the 17's so I wasn't happy and had them changed to 35mm PI's which lowered my car far too much especially at the front to a point it was undriveable so had it raised.

 

eibach are a bit hard on the RST

 

I have a set of -30mm cobra springs that i bought off c+b, mint condition if you're after a set mate.

 

I have H&R -25/-25mm + Koni sport kit and i am really pleased for H&R quality.
H&R is german brand and many sports car use H&R springs as standard. H&R is same level of comfort and quality as discontinued eibach.

You can order those from http://www.fahrwerkebilliger.de/
If i remember correctly springs cost something like 100£
