Hello everyone,
As a fresh ep3 owner I obviously love it! But there are two things that I need to address soon(ish). I'm using my ep3 as a daily driver and...
My first issue is ep3 being a bit too low. It has eibach lowering springs (30mm) and as far as I love how it looks low I can't go over my driveway (it's really nasty) and speed bumps at my work place (speed limit 10 mph but the bumps are making you to slow down almost to 0mph). I'm thinking about coming back standard height springs because all the bumps are stressing me out so hard. So the standard spring should give me "back" of 30mm of height - not much but I really feel bad about the underneath of the front bumper and I'm worried that I can damage it by scratching it on everyday basis. Is my only option are the stock ep3 standard springs? I was trying to look for alternatives but then realised why the hell anyone would like to make type r higher (which I totally understand). I was looking on ebay, gumtree for standard springs but so far no luck.
I'll keep my set of einbach springs "just in case I'll be into modding in the next couple of months or a year" or eventually I'll move and change job.
Other thing is drone noise in the cabin coming from I believe exhaust. My ep3 got fitted HKS hi power backbox. Sounds really good but when I'm driving 60-80mph the noise in the cabin is quite annoying. Is it caused by my backbox or can be potentially something else? I have no details about the rest of the exhaust but I believe it's stock. Is the standard backbox much quieter or just a bit quieter than the HKS hi power backbox and not worth "downgrading"?
