    Best budget coil springs?

    Is there such a thing! just want a slight drop and tighten up, dont want to be bouncing up the road like a gangster, can you get half decent lowered coil spring sets anymore? thanks

    Course you can, I'm presuming you've got an 850 as you don't say. A cheap upgrade would be a secondhand set of R springs as these are lower and stiffer than the sandard setup, alternativley you could buy some Eibach springs these are stiffer and lower as well and aren't that expensive.

    i have fitted Eibach springs today, they are bloody brilliant, stiffen the car up nicely, drop it about 40mm even the mrs likes the ride better as she said it always felt "wobbly", her words not mine lol. Oh ye i picked up a second hand set for £60.
