Lowering Advice

Featured Replies

I have a fiesta Mk6 pre facelift. My car is really really high haha, the arch gap is a fist and one finger, (my measuring) and I want to lower it! I was wondering what would be better to do so, coilovers or lower springs? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks

Lowering* springs

Hi Greig and welcome to the club. It all depends how much you're willing to spend. Coilovers are alot better/alot more adjustable. You can adjust coilovers to exactly the height you want but lowering springs are a lot cheaper so as I said its all down to how much you're willing to spend

Well as it turns out I've got a mate who has lowering springs for his old fiesta (had springs and moved on to coilovers) so I'm going to get the springs from him just now, and when I save up more money, I'll later go on to the coil overs 👍

Personally mate i wouldn't bother with the lowering springs- i had them in my first car and they looked ok for the first few months, but then when you fancy a change or different wheels etc; they're the same. I've just fitted coilovers to my ST170 and they are far better and more malleable in terms of practicality and also handling and far more appealing!
