Ford Fiesta 1.0 Eco-Boost. Do I lower on Eibachs or H & R springs?

[Branchinho]

Hi,

I want to lower my car but I don't know weather to buy Eibach or H&R lowering springs? I only want to lower the car by about 30-35mm and I can buy either and have them fitted for almost the same cost. Anyone got either of these on their 1.0 Fiesta and can share their experiences or thoughts?

 

Many thanks, Tom :)

Im on Eibach's and they're fine, slightly bumpier ride but they reduce the arch gap nicely.

Tom what are those black splitters for the front and side skirts and I assume the rear? Where did you get them and are they hard to install? 😁

local car shop quoted me £100 for fitting and £30 for tracking, its a reputable shop that deals with modded cars daily.

Where is that? Anywhere near Hertfordshire?

no telford way 30 mins from birmingham, im sure there will be car shops that do non standard cars so you know they know what they are doing,

Decide on the type of driving you do, the roads you do it one, how loaded the car typically may be, and then compare the spring rates.  A suspension specialist may charge a little more than a simply parts retailer, but that extra dollar gets you their guidance and expertise when choosing the optimum product.
