how to lower the height of the car without sacrificing the comfort?

[aaronng]

ok, but how if i only change the springs but not the shocks? will i reduce the car's comfort?

The damping effect will be lost, so your car will feel like it was very bouncy. Plus you end up with blown shocks in a year or so. Recommend to replace the shocks with suitable ones for the height you are lowering.

interesting,, so in order to keep the comfort, i should change the shocks as well? mm, what shocks do you guys recommend??

koni yellows are a good combo with eibach, and u can hieght adjust em by 5 perks, 2 lowering perks, which means u get an extra 1~ inch more :P

I found Koni Yellows to be stiffer and slightly more uncomfortable than Bilsteins on the Euro.

coil overs - either BC or K sports.

oh ok, I've never used koni yellows before, just going on from what other people told me. i bought a set of em, but straight away sold em to get coilovers . get coilovers

Any coilover is uncomfortable compared to an Eibach/Bilstein or Eibach/Koni Yellow set up.

Approx what do u think the max drop u can get with one of these combos?

Approx.35mm with the pro kit.Sportline gives you approx.50+mm drop.too low for the Euro IMO.

True that, I have eibach pro kit with stock shocks n between the bounciness over speed humps n bumps, and also positive rake causing front tyres to wear, its killin me.....I think i will put koni yellows on now

Agreed!!! With a coilover u can drop the ride height as much as u want and still have full spring travel if u have adjustable spring and droop adjustment!!! Its the only way IMO to have a low car with standard ride! If u run the BC coilovers u can adjust the damper to super soft as i have done and it rides pretty much as a standard car but is on the floor. U want to keep the spring under preasure and not change the travel of the shock and spring. By shortening the strut to drop the car u retain full travel! Changing to Koni with an Eibach spring is good for handling and what not but if all your after is slammage and retaining stock ride then coilover for win!!!
