I've been told that Eibach is the best but that it isnt low enough! KoeniC or NForce any good?

Expect lots of responses on this thread!
Have Koenic springs on my UTE for about 3-4yrs now...lifetime guarantee on them & had no probs thus far
Paid R1300 with fitment & alignment that time when I had them fitted

My car is lower infront that at the rear - is there something like a 60mm / 40mm split or is 60mm too low?
14 Sep 2010, 08:19
I think 60mm might be a bit too low...not 100% sure though
I do know you get different types of Eibach springs which are lower than the normal 35mm drop
Adj. coilovers are also an option

D2 coilies are budget but not serviceable, about R3.5k
Tein's are nice and serviceable and the best IMHO, about R8-15k
then you get KW, Spax, XYZ, KYB, etc. check ebay, i know you have connections
