Defcon5 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Considering you can get a set of PhilJs coilovers for £200, id say no, its not a good offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Phase Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 £150 for springs is alot imo and 30mm won't do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike89 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 its up to yourself, but £200 for some coilovers or £150 for springs? id go for the coilovers mate. Springs are a set height,, why not pay an extra £50 and you can choose a more percise height? after a while, like me you will want to go lower! lol Seriously though if you just want it tidier and more subtle, 30mm wont make much of a difference at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 The guy is asking to lower his lupo subtly and not slam it to the ground on some cheapo coilovers, and 30mm definitely makes a difference . It's about time people were reminded how high they are as standard:Left loop is on 30mm Eibachs, right loop is standard, go figure!P.S. £150 is a lot to pay for the springs, I only paid around £110 from german ebay, though exchange rates have taken a dive since then. If you're lucky you might find a used set for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt emplying that he will want to slam it, but coilovers do offer you the choice of adjusting and refining your height. that lupo does seem higher than any standard arosa or lupo i have seen. if you do go for springs, yes eibach are probably the best you could go for, or H&R, although as said above, that does seem quite a steep price. apologies if anyone took it the wrong way Edited May 31, 2009 by mike89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike89 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 ta technix, vamaxx etc (all the budget coilovers) will corode in time, if not taken care of properley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 FK's corrode too.My stainless KW V1's are still perfect after 3 years and without cleaning them.Even if you lose the adjustability on them, you still get to set the height you want it in the first place. Once you've got it how you want it you're unlikely to change it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
