lowering

[tony_b]

Hi
i have come across a good deal on some spax lowering springs for my ep3, this should take the car down approx 30mm, is this a good idea with the standard struts and is there anything else i will need to do, thanks

Lowering 30mm on standard strut will be fine...
But I am not sure of the SPAX Spring quality so I can't tell you on that front.

FRSU would be advised

i dont get what this is and where to get it done

The obvious stuff such as Tracking.
Fast Road Set Up would be good, but then you need camber bolt and rear camber kit so that will increase its price.

If you are on a budget, just the lowering springs and good 4 wheel laser tracking will do.

TDI North, TDI South & TGM are all good places for a FRSU.

Performance Autoworks are just outside Swindon and could fit them and sort out the FRSU for you.

How much are the Spax? The Eibachs from ABP are a great price at £150. Perfect drop (IMO) and dare I say better than the Spax?

I want to get this done looking to drop about 25mm, as dont want it too low, so going to get the Eibach front & Rear camber kit as well then have it set up properly.

Where's the best place to buy from? Do we get deals anywhere?
