**pitslayer** · Sunday 6th August 2006, 15:19

hi im looking to buy an S40 T4, how cheap are they to get lowered about 40-50 mm? test drove the car yesterday and found it a bit high and rolly going around corners and needs stiffening up
cheers

easy to do 35mm with apex springs or equivenent. but more req's ride height adjustables. mine cost £900 the set ££

but well worth the money

Here's a b4 & after of my 2.0T when I had Eibach's & 17" alloys fitted:

IIRC it's a 35 or 40mm drop. I really need to take new pics now that I've had the OEM spoiler fitted...

**pzorb** · Thursday 24th August 2006, 12:08

I can't see the pic?

**M@rtin** · Thursday 24th August 2006, 12:19

That's weird, works fine here - it's just a couple of imageshack thumbnails - is there anything to click on?

Here are the direct links:
