Springs/Coilovers Best Set Up

Post by Daz GT TSI »

Afternoon,

Pretty new to this and I've never done any mods to a car before, but... I want to lower my Roc by atleast 35mm or near abouts(as pictures I have seen it) and other reviews say it's a good height for daily use also..
If you could share what set up you have, to what suits you, and pictures would be great, as I'm still getting an idea of how low I want it to be.
Should I just get lowering springs? Or do I need a full set up? Need some recommendations to give me some more ideas[emoji1303]

Cheers

Just go for lowering springs if you just want the car to sit lower but want to keep some "comfort" for daily use.

There are plenty of pictures on the site of cars fitted with both Eibach and H&R springs.

The other benefit is you also get to keep your Dynamic Chassis Control, if fitted.

Look up a members thread here called Victor, it has pictures of cars with H&R and Eibach springs plus a comparison with a car that's on coilovers.

I personally went with Eibach springs, whilst the H&R look better I would have ground clearance issues and they are reportedly a harsher ride which I didn't want.

Yep, that's it. There's comparison pics in there somewhere. You can clearly see the difference between the 3 set-ups, they offer up a key fob as a point of reference.
