lowering spring

[cockney16v]

i want to lower my nova(1.2)what are the best springs for this and how much do i drop it running with 15" wheels at the moment any help will most gratfull

Id stay away from Apex springs, Lower it at least 60 at the back end or it will look like a roller skate. If yours just going for looks Gmax do a good drop.

Gmax and Pi springs are ok for budget lowereing but if you are going to lower more than -30mm you're going to need to uprate the shocks for the reduced ride hight.

Gmax shoks and springs works v well on nova 60mm

on a budget then gmax is ok, i found the 60mm drop looks good but is a very harsh ride. 40mm feels much better for me but just doesn't look low enough on 15s. but for the money you carn't really complain.

Gmax An Pi springs are good but the best have to be Eibach. Id say go for the sportline kit as they can go from ~40mm - 50mm. Can pick em up for around ?115.

Otherwise, the pro kit will lower from ~30mm - 40mm but a bit pricier.

i have a bilstein (cheapest one they do) kit on and its f*cking amzaing

it totally transformed the car.

it was originally a 60mm front and 40mm rear kit but i got some P.I. 60mm rear springs.

Have to disagree with ya there. I had a black streetline kit, its all in the bin now. had loadsa bits on warranty, it was utter dirt. Admittedly it felt OK for couple days.

My advice is steer clear of Pi springs code no 60/149. these springs crop up everywhere in loadsa kits. Utter gash IMO.:confused:
