How low can you go...

[gromit]

Hi all
My 07 LE euro is now just 11 days old
Absolutely loving the car and still stealing glances everytime i walk away from it.
Now I'm looking for advice on lowering the car. Any ideas what brand, ride height, price or where i can get it done in Perth (Only been here for 1 month now!). Don't want it stupid low though scraping off roadkill.

Any suggestions appreciated!

I've got Eibach springs with Bilstein shocks,drop is approx.35mm(just right!).i'm in Sydney so can't help with where to get it done.IMO Eibach springs really suit the Euro as it's a sport/luxury car.As for shocks i'd go for either Bilstein or Koni both cost about the same and again suit the type of car the Euro is.BTW welcome.

hmm, tein ss is about 1300, it is height and damping adjustable, so you can lower the car precisely as you wish. Highly recommended. Surprisingly despite the high spring rate it still rides very well, very close to stock.

Thanks for the comments.
Yea I wouldn't want anything that wud compromise ride comfort.

These guys are on the money with Eibach springs.
Also the Koni's have a bit of height adjustability.
SuperStreet will most likely handle worse than stock but gives you full height choice.

How low can you go.. Umm I have to think about that.

I dunno why dont you lower it until it can nearly graze the ground, just like the knuckles of a knuckle dragging gorilla.

handle worse than stock? Are you using them? There is no way a reputable company like Tein makes suspension that is worse than stock. You have to get inside a euro with the SS, I was shocked myself too. It is that good.

Haha.Well ok i've never been in a Euro with ss but in about 8-10 cars that have.
They are rubbish to me honestly.Everyone I speak to who bought them regrets it regardless of intended purpose.
A good spring/strut set up will own ss anytime.

Cause it's illegal; and it seems he actually cares about performance.

What was their intended purpose? I hope it is not handling, as the SS are too soft for the track. They are street-level coils meant to be for daily driving.

My euro rides like a limo with no body roll with Tein ss and a whiteline rsb.

"All coilovers are not created equally"

I can't believe all the "experts" who have ridden in cars with Tein coilovers, therefore they must all have a bone-jarring ride.

I have dropped 50mm and still have to do half the driveways at an angle, and I've still had a couple of scrapes.

I've heard of squeaks from Tein coilovers after 6-9 mths.on a TSX site(Acurazine) so that put me off getting them.I'm not a fan of coilovers on a street car but in saying that i've never owned or driven a car with them installed.
