ED30 lowering springs
« on: May 06, 2013, 08:13:35 pm »
Looking at lowering my ed30 but don't know what springs to choose from! It's out of the APs, eibach sportlines or the H&Rs
Any pics would be a great help as well!

AP were bouncy, H&R too firm, Eibach's the best for me where I live.

How firm was the H&Rs?
Does the eibach still have a nice drop though?

It's all subjective, and to be honest the H&R/Eibach choice is much of a muchness. When I had H&R's they were paired up with Koni FSD's and I didn't like the combination, felt like I was physically being smacked over the head with some bumps. Now I have Bilstein B8 dampers and like them lots.

Have a look at my sig for pics of the drop, I don't get slamming cars so like the benefots of the height it has now, about 25-30mm lower.

Aye I wish I just bought the B12 kit instead of being a cheapskate and getting the AP's that were on for 500 miles :grin:

B12 is B8 damper with Eibach springs. Apparently the "best" for fast road/daily driver use.

I am contemplating a set for the Assassin but can't decide if i want to change the car or not yet.

I know  :happy2:

B12 Sportline comes with Eibach springs (I bought the kit...B8 dampers + Eibach Sportlines = B12 Sportlines), I think it changed over the past few years from H&R.
