Springs

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

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.

i have apex ones....not too bad at all :)

Nice...But Lowered by How much?

sholudn't this be searched?

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 ?

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.
