Hoopie Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 GuysI've got some Porsche teledials for my car so I need some PCD adaptors. There are some made by Bulldog on ebay for £140 for 4, which is about half the price of the others I've seen. Anyone got any experience of these, are they any good, or is it the usual - you get what you pay for? What adaptors would you recommend?Also I want to lower the car by 60mm. My daughters car has got Apex springs on which are 40mm, but look more like 60mm (they were on the car when she got it). It rides firm but comfortable, whereas mine rolls like a tuna boat on standards. I can't find any 60mm springs, or is it the case that Apex spring actually get you lower than 40mm claimed. Anyone point me in the right direction please.CheersGlenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf RS Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Go Coilovers.It's in the rear the problems are anyways.I take it that you mean 60mm lowering and not 60mm inner diameter spring?Because if the latter you can get custom springs made for your car......sort of.Regarding PCD-adapters......I have had both H&R and cheeper FK.Both works but H&R is FAR FAR better quality then FK.Allthou i run FK myself at the moment om my Loop.But for H&R you pay for the quality.You have so many wierd brands in the UK Can not say anything about the adapters you named.....

The other thing is coil-overs are a lot more expensive. What I'm looking are springs that give me a fixed drop of 60mm, so not a big drop, but it will sharpen up the handling.

Wolf RS Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Coilovers "legs" has springs to you know.Original IS COILOVERS , COIL over SPRING!The difference is the diameter and stiffnes of the spring.Just buy another set of springs with the right setting and lenghts and get it sorted.
