Ive had 4 in the car and hit the chassis on a speed bump! slowly fortunately, but the suspension hasnt bottomed yet
What sort of kit do we think we need then ? by that I mean all made here in Europe ?
2 kit options ?
1st for mild weekend street\track day I.e lower stiffer springs with adjustable dampers
2nd more of a higher spec coilover conversion with shorter struts , weld on like the BC kit maybe and with adjustable top camber ?
I can make most of the bits apart from springs and I also have a contact for dampers,
But it all comes down to cost , I would have to do the maths but could I do a kit that is cheaper then the BC....
My experience with lowering springs is you always get a front high condition. I've yet to see any that lower the front enough when compared to the back. As Sean has said, you also compromise the available suspension travel unless you section the strut. You have no adjustability to set the stance exactly how you like. I've gone this route before and wouldn't do it again.
Because your springs are stiffer ?
The idea is not to go for a stiffer ride when driving a lowered car.
If your just interested in the look and not the handling, then yes!
If there is, as you seem to suggest, a market for lowered but softly sprung kits, then i would of thought progressive springs were 'de rigueur' end of, coilover or not?
Pot-holes ? Jeez, don't want to lose an eye going over one of those....in any case, we don't have those here......although if we did they're called 'chicken-nests' ! nid de poules......google it !
