foto2021 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I drive an Arosa Mk1. I want to lower the suspension and have bought a set of shortened shock absorbers from Germany. Now I need some lowered springs.I have been offered a set of unused springs from a VW Lupo GTi. Can anyone tell me how much lowering I would be likely to get using these springs compared to the standard Arosa springs? 40mm? 60mm?Thanks!

jon_273 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 It will only lower it around 20mm at most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Not sure of the quality or ride, but...http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-LUPO-60mm-60mm-Lowering-Springs-/280924983713?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item41686f11a1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foto2021 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks Jon and Silver, looks like a different set of springs is needed. I want to lower by 40mm but retain as comfortable a ride as I can.On eBay there are sets from FK, LO, Ventura, Apex, Spax, Lesjofors, GMax, H&R. Are there any brands I should avoid?

craigg!! Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I had KW 40mm springs and shockers on my mk2 and the ride quality was better than standard. The more you pay the better quality you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 The more you pay the better quality you will get.that. FK, APEX, H&R, Eibach and Spax are some of the better brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
