Jason Tierney Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 30/35mm I have them on mine. Great addition to the car. Does make a difference stance wise and handling is improved greatly. No understeer at all now. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No understeer at all now. Jay Do you have any picture before/after? I would like to lower mine with 30/35mm but I don't want it to be that low because I am afraid that I might have difficulties with road bumps :D Did you have any problems like this after lowering it? By the way, are the springs OK for Ford (warranty wise)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi.Es.Ta Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 It lowers the car around 35mm and lowering your car will void your suspension warranty here in Aus.But that doesnt phase me how many new cars of you heard of that have had suspension problems ,ive heard of none and my warrnty is up in 4 weeks anyways.

Bingooo27 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 yeah, something's hitting them. Although maybe it's just the mud guards. I'd love coilovers but they're too much hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatty36 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This is true but only if you buy them through ford Or a Eibach approved mechanics, must have a certificate to prove this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAX Suspension Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'd love coilovers but they're too much hassle. Hi there, A lot of coilovers have adjustment for height AND damping, so you can set them stiffer, or softer depending on your mood. On our dampers this is done with a simple knob in literally seconds. If you're concerned that the height adjustment may be too involved for you, there are adjustable spring and damper combos that have damping adjustment on them. If you would like some more info, please PM me and Ill check the catalogue for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
