I own a 1990 s2 which is fitted with an unknown make of suspension kit, it's runnning on 17's and at the moment it tends to sit a little lower at the back than it does at the front, i have a small amount of sound equipment in the boot but i think it's because the springs are fairly old. I'm going to purchase a new set of lowering springs this week but i cannot decide which to go for, i was looking for some oppions of what others have had good results with. I don't want to lower the car excessively and would like it to sit slightly lower at the front than at the rear (arch just above the tyre at the front and maybe a cm between arch and tyre at the rear) and a fairly hard spring, at the rear anyway (it's a nightmare trying to get grip down at the moment as it tends to squat a fair bit and lift at the front). I was thinking of something like a 25mm drop from the likes of spax or avo or gmax. Any oppinions and pictures if possibe would be greatly appreciated because nobody can seem to give a straight answer and i want make the right choice.

Thanx, Mark

 

Or PI....? come on, who's got what fitted and is happy with the results they've got?

Post it in the General section mate.

I can't help as I only ever run 15" and 16" wheels on standard springs or coilovers...

 

just cut a coil off the front springs!, i had to do it on my rears when i stripped out my interior!

but do it properly, dont fit gmax, i have them, they sit right low at the front and are very bouncy, ive got mine with koni adjustables

get ebaich or H&R for a nice ride

 

Any other oppinions?? Only want to change the springs for now really, shocks are still in good nick. Spax or avo springs maybe??? What kits give a nice lowered stance? mm lowered by...

 

hi also run 17s with spax but no good!!!sits too low and grinds arches really bad.have been told i need coilovers.typical,spax are only 3 weeks old!!!!good luck m8

 

anyone else running on normal springs and shocks on 17's and happy with the results? what makes....?
