How low to go?

[tinsleytdi]

Hi Guys!

I'm going to be geting a set of Eibach coilovers soon, and want to know how low people have their cars and how its treated them. I'm not after it skimming the ground it's so low but just not happy with the ride height of the FR. So any info on people's experiances and the amount would be appreciated.

I'd personally go for eibach sportlines onto your oem struts..... Perfect drop and they only £183 from awesomeGTI

The money saved can go towards other handling mods

coilovers/uprated dampers are better than the OEM ones though?

I have Eibach and some new speed humps have appeared and I have to slow down to 10mph to get over or I scrape. :-/

If I have 3+ people in my car it will scrape over a lot of speed bumps in housing estates. Bloody council making them too big!

It's only the undertray that scrapes though so I'm not bothered

Depends what you want to use the car for.

Oem struts coupled with eibach sportlines work fine for me, fast road use is all mine is used for.

When I used to be Into trackdays with my old charged civic (ep3) I had coiliver's on, perfect for track days..... Pain in the ar$e for bumpy roads back home though.

I doubt I'd ever buy another set of coiliver's...... Unless I started to do some track days again.

That's the joy of coilovers, just adjust them until you're happy with how it sits.
