Hello,
I have done a lot of work to my car this week, fully polybushed front and back (castor adjusting), eibach pro lowering springs, camber bolts and camber arms. But I am not happy. The car before I did any work felt great, I enjoyed driving it fast and I was happy with it, so I expected great things from doing these mods and making it even better but it just isnt better and Im trying to work out why. I dont have the same confidence in the car, it bounces all over the place and I feel if I press on it will throw me off the road, I am not enjoying it.
Im looking at the lowering springs right now as the primary cause since the EP3 is not meant to be lowered in the first place, my front control arms are slightly above horizontal and the rear are horizontal. I could get the roll adjustment ball joints but the car will still jump all over the road.
Has anyone else felt something similar? It seems everyone is really happy with this sort of set-up and say its a huge difference, Im not feeling this difference if anything it feels worse. Im looking for opinions really before I fork out another £80 to get the car set up again with standard springs.
The set up right now is as follows:
+1° toe out at the front (both wheels, +2° total)
-1° negative camber front and back
-1° toe in at the back (both wheels, +2° total)
I live in wales and drive on mountain roads which could be the main reason I dont like these springs, but even on dual carrigeways the car doesnt feel amazing.
