Anyone had any trouble with them?
Had mine on for 3 years, had to come off today as both rears snapped. Always been slow and steady over bumps and careful not to give the car a beating on none smooth ground.
Thinking of H&R next but really, I didn’t think the v Max’s were low enough at 40mm so maybe coilies.

Re: V MAXX springs
IF you want to go lower, get coilovers, Not go cheap though, get a decent set.

Hello , do you know any suspension that makes the car lower but it does make it soft ?

Springs - More practical, Low enough for daily driving and cans till get over speedbumps. makes the ride a bit firmer over stock but not by much. - I have H&R 30mm springs
Coilovers vary depending on how much you spend. 200quid coils can go really low but doesnt me the ride will be comfortable or they parts will last. - ST, KW, BC Racing are the mid range brands

Re: V MAXX springs
I have the eibach springs with my stock suspension and the car looks awesome at that height , but I lost the comfort on the cabin , I have asked a shop and they suggested me to go for the KONI STREET . Does anybody has another solution ?

Re: V MAXX springs
I have h&r coils on my stock suspension and it hasn't affected the comfort massively. Do u have adaptive suspension?

Re: V MAXX springs
40mm on the vmaxx looked great and felt great (nice and solid, not so much body roll, really stiffened it up), but I did scrape everything. The original suspension feels like driving a boat now! Just a shame they’re so cheap and nasty. Will be going to H&R next I think, not so low but hopefully will last a bit longer.
Don’t bother with the cheap eBay coilies, they’re made of papier-mâché. I’d be budgeting £500 if shipping second hand for a decent set, double for new. If you were going that route.
