Show car suspension

[dB_CTR]

Evening troops,

I am halfway through building a show car for a customer. She is after a really low look with wide stance.
Now the car will really only travel on the road to and from shows etc. She does around 3k a year in her second car. Now I'm not sure what to put on it coil overs or springs? Looking for a drop of around 50 mm ish can you advise?

Is there any major problems/excessive wear that comes with a drop this low.


Thanks in advance.

TypeRiter had a similar drop on his EP3 I think.

If he doesn't come along soon, drop him a PM.

What car is it ?

Sorry should have said it's an Ep3 05 plate

You'd need coilovers for that sort of drop and I'd recommend inverted track rod ends as well.

Coilovers get my vote

Air ride.

You would need coilovers to be able to get the stance nailed on. But its not just a question of coilovers vs springs, you also have to factor in camber set ups & wheel specs (width/offset etc) when doing wide stance.
