Hi all

I am looking to change the stock suspension and have various ideas ranging from H&R springs right up to a full coilover kit.

It would be great if you guys could throw up some images of your cars stance and the set-up used and any opinions you may have from experiences of certain manufacturers. I have 3 factors behind my considerations - cost, handling and ride quality.

Cheers

This is mine on H&R springs

It looks a bit high in this photo for some reason - sits nicely though. No problems, rides just like stock, and feels more composed in the corners. Very good for the lower end of the budget, obviously things get more expensive with coilovers, but you can't do much better than H&R if you decide to just get springs.

Paradox1:
Ive had coilovers on the majority of my cars but I think this time round im going to get either Eibach or H&R springs.

Coilovers are good but need adjusting to a good ride height. Also you have to worry about speed humps and multi-storey car parks etc.

the car in the pic above looks spot on to me

Yep, I'm happy with them. From experience I know it's a bit of a punt with springs as you can often end up with a stance that's not quite right, subjectively, and of course you can't adjust their height. But these are pretty damn spot on in terms of rake and arch gap.

Paradox1:
Does anybody know how the spring perform on track?
