elSeano New Member 9 Member For: 5y 8m 11d Posted 26/09/18 01:16 AM Share Posted 26/09/18 01:16 AM Just about to buy some ultra low springs so need to know if it is worth getting coilovers instead. What kind of price should I spend if I do. And also will ultra lows make my ba drive like sh*t ? Haha cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,291 Member For: 16y 9d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 26/09/18 01:21 AM Share Posted 26/09/18 01:21 AM A quality spring and shock combination to suit your driving style and car setup will be just as effective as a coilover replacement setup. But of course the coilovers offer adjustability over a static setup. It's up to you to decide if it's worthwhile spending the extra on adjustability of both height and rebound/dampening. Yes, ultra-lows will make it an uncomfortable ride and have other potential side effects on your suspension setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have super lows, don't really need to go lower I scrape some of the time but it handles a lot better. I would go bilstein shocks though next time, have Monroe GT. Get a 27mm front swaybar for the front, leave the rear one stock or smaller hmm they say. Edited 26/09/18 03:23 AM by adams355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elSeano New Member 9 Member For: 5y 8m 11d Posted 26/09/18 06:44 AM Author Share Posted 26/09/18 06:44 AM Honestly just want to have the car looking how I want at the moment before I try improving the performance . But I definitely don’t want to sacrifice drivability to do so, so I’m thinking super lows will probably still have the look I’m after and some decent quality shocks.

Superlow still legal as well. Get the short whiteline front bump stops as well and the shorter rear bumps. ebay has them pretty cheap. This isnt my car but its what superlow looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
