Thanks again for the ideas and opinions guys. I'm always amazed at how helpful ozhonda members are.

I've decided to place an order for the Buddy Club N+ Coilovers and a Rear Camber Kit. I'll post a review once it's all set up.

Hi guys,

I'm interested in lowering my 06 lux too. I was think maybe dropping it to 1inch. The car serve as a family car, will not be tracking what so ever. Often carry abit of weight due to 2 kids (prams and stuff in the boot). Comfort is more important then performance. Street driving (lots of speed hump). thanks in advance Any recommendation????

also would this mod stuffs up the car's warranty????

regards,

Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers are probably the way to go for your requirement. But I'm not sure how much they lower your car by. Ask Tony1234, he has that on his car.

Yeh i enquired Eibach in regards to the prokit...lowers the euro 30-35mm (~1.5inch) at the front and about 30mm at the rears.
Tony1234 said he got the Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, Eiback camber (i think) for about $2200. Hopefully i will get mine sometime later this year!!

Hey guys my suspension and camber kit has arrived! Going to install it either this week or next.

I'm thinking of lowering it about an inch front and back and set the suspension dampening right at the middle. Would that be a good setup for daily spirited driving (plus occasional tracking)? Since it's FF, maybe it would be better to set it firmer in the rear? I wonder if it would cause clearance problems with my cusco lower tie bar too.

Okay - Can someone help me - I have looked on a few sites and cant find anything on the spring rates of the various springs available for the Euro... I have Pedders with Koni's at the moment but am looking for something a bit softer - The Euro needs to be more family friendly (my other half says it is too rough for her and the baby on the way) Does anyone have access to this info and can give me a factual (not personal) answer on what would be a better rated spring for the Koni's ??? Thanks guys...

I can't quote you any spring rates but i'm sure if you swap out your Pedders(which i think are rebadged King springs)for Eibach or H&Rs you'll be happy with the result.Pedders/King springs are linear(firm all the way) i think whereas Eibach & H&R are progressive(softer then firm up on progression) rate.someone correct me if i'm wrong.

The spring rate should be printed on your spring.
