I'm pretty new to the whole mods and stuff. But reading the stickies I get the feeling that you can't just throw lowering springs on our cars without some pretty extreme consequences...

I want to lower my car but what's a good combination for the cheapest price? My S is my daily and I don't want to trade too much ride quality to achieve my desired height, which is not too lower but low enough to clear speed bumps at a low speed vice angling every bump, dip, driveway with the slightest incline.

Thanks in advance!

 

I'd say save some cash and get a set of decent coilovers. Yes, you can spend $200+/- for a set of lowering springs but in the end you will want some sort of dampening and ride height adjust-ability. You can get a get a set of Megan coilovers or around $850 new.

 

Hmmm... I thought about that but I heard that a comfortable ride is sacrificed with coilovers. Is that true?

 

I bought ESP drop springs 2 years ago.. lowered the car a bit..

f i got set of Megan coils, do i need anything else? springs, shocks etc? or would the megan "kit" come with everything i need?

 

They are springs and dampers.

 

Depends on the coilovers. KWs ride better than stock.

 

Mate just buy some second shorter springs and drop them in like I did.

Your handling will go from 100/100 to say 80/100 you really won't notice much of a difference unless you're throwing your car around corners at stupid speeds or driving it on the track.

I bought the Eichbach springs that lowered the car 1.5inches and it looks 10 times hotter now.

 

With just Eibach springs ride qaulity will stay perfect .
And with KW's the ride qaulity will be very good .
