Springs

[zen]

the big q is .. how low can you go without losing that DC2 handling? anyone recommend some good springs for the TEG?

[57UDD]

i put eibach prokit or sportslines springs in my gf'z dc2 vtir and it handles like a dream mate. takin corners at 80kph seems so simple. dunno how low you can go though, my friends tegz is like 6-10cm off the ground, feels no where as good as my gf'z teg though.

I've got the Spoon Progressives Spring with Stock dampers. It's lower it by about 30mm. Handling has improved ..... BUT.... You have to pay extra attenion to shi#y roads, potholes. And bumps, that feel like deep potholes.

Went to back road cruise with HCC NSW around the Hunter Valley afew weeks ago. Slightly bottomed-out a couple of times. Normally, no problems, except getting up & down steep driveways.

Nice...But Lowered by How much?

[Bludger]

sholudn't this be searched?

[djgarv]

got no idea
from what i can tell, about 40mm
they look abt as low as say, king spring super lows would look

King springs sux! I have lowered so many cars on those springs for other people and they are as soft as steeamed dim sim! if ya wanna lower your ride I would suggest go for something else than king's like lovells, or Jumboz springs and so you don't loose that DC2 Handling I would replace the shockers with something better, not only will you lower the car but you also have to try to keep it stiff so you dont bottom out or loose that DC2 feel better yet you will improve it mutch further by doing all of this.

how much do you wish to spend mate ?

[mister]

stock dc2 handling is not that great. maybe ur quesiton should be wat hieght will give optimal handling performance?
and then factor in how much u wish to spend etc.

i know alot of people are talking about em but lemme get this straight. Would i get them instead of getting sum new springs and shockers or would it be a complete package i'd be looking at. BTW obviously i dont want to fork out an arm and a leg for it all but i just want my car to handle like it does but sit low and mean (not a gravel scraper though :D )

Prices people paid... The Eibach Prokits for eg. ??

[armak81]

prokits just under $500

anyone have any pics with certain springs in their car to get a better idea on how low they are?

[ITRBoI]

get the teins coilovers there are really good, got mine one done today and the handling is already different from my stock dc2r.

how much did you pay and where from? They'd fit the Vtir wouldnt they?

i paid around 3100 to 3200 for it but that's with the edfc though, and yes it would fit the vtir.

The lowest i would go is around 2" no more than 2.5" before u start to loose the handling..
