Tackleberry Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hello, So next on the list will be get lows! Not happy at all with the gap between wheel and arch. Which springs offer the least amount of work and extra cost (camber adjustments etc) but are also suitable for 19" wheels. Eibach seem to be the spring of choice for a lot of people. Too low? Would be good to see some before and afters comparing the various springs/coilies colated in one post. I'd had a wee look at some past posts.

14N Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Tein springs. 15mm drop rear, 17mm front. Fit nice with my 19's, easy to fit, not too low, no adjustment needed on camber etc, great price (circa £140). Very popular on here, especially if the 30mm drop Eibach gives you is too much.

KyleR Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The Tein springs are a nice drop, but then so is a 30mm drop from Apex, Eibach etc, but you will most likely need a camber kit for the rear if you buy anything other than the Teins. They all fit the same way and are pretty easy to do, jus a little awkward to get a few of the nuts and bolts off, especially if they're corroded up a bit.

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 We can supply the Eibach or Tein springs, if fitting either I would always recommend a geometry check and adjustment is carried out. As you are local to Aberdeen Reidline Performance would be able to carry out the fitting and or alignment for you using Hunter Hawkeye equipment.

KyleR Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Why is camber adjustment needed on a 30mm drop? Because when the suspension travels the wheels dont just go up and down, they tuck into the arches slightly at the top too. So by dropping the car by 30mm, you will have the top of the wheel tucked slightly up and inside the arch, i.e. negative camber. Also because of the suspension system on the zed, with negative camber comes toe in as well. So, changes are after dropping the car by 30mm, you'll have camber of around 3 degrees, (2 degrees max in OEM specs) and several mm of toe in (2.7mm max in OEM specs). The zeds OEM adjustments arent enough to bring it back in to line a lot of the time. So it's best to get it checked and adjusted. If it cant be adjusted enough, you'll have to buy a rear caber kit.

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 As Kyle says any drop will require some level of adjustment not just to the camber but also the toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
