suggestion on lowering springs for my sportcross wagon
hi all
it's been a while since I last visited the forum. I need some info. on what good lowering springs out there to match with my Bilstein HD shocks/struts WITHOUT sacrificing too much of the ride as I have a 2 year old that I drive around everyday.
Are the Bilstein HD a good foundation of dampening? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
oh yeah, if you wish to share your experiences on your set up you are more than welcome to. Pictures will be fun too.
cheers

i have been looking at either getting the megan racing or the ksports struts and springs. both have a wide range for damper and give you a mild to big drop depending on the look you want

I just picked up swift springs for my stock shocks...havent installed yet but from what i've heard that setup is supposed to be similar to stock in terms of comfort, maybe alittle stiffer, but handles a lot better and rides about 1" lower.
how low are you trying to go?

I'm looking for at least 1 inch drop but still have a comfortable ride for my 2 yr. old girl. My concern is if my Bilstein HD are the right shocks/struts when in terms of comfort. I'm not sure which springs that would match well with the shocks that I've got.
thanks all
thanks all

I've heard many say Eibach pro-kit. My friend had it on his Sportcross with Bilstein shocks and the drop was significantly low and the ride was pretty harsh. He then replaced the Bilstein shocks to Tokiko blues and the ride was a lot smoother although it wasn't as low as when it had the Bilstein on. Didn't realize that shocks can also manipulate the height of the car...hmmm
Another suggestion I've got was the Tein S-Tech springs. Sits lower than Eibach pro-kit but I'm not sure if it's a better ride and if it'll blend well with Bilstein. What's the difference between the Tein H-Tech springs and the S-Tech?
I guess what I really want is to have a finger gap between the fender and tires with again a comfortable ride with the Bilstein and ? springs. Need I should replace the Bilstein and go for something else?
thanks for the replies!!!!
