[nicolec2]

Both motors looking well. The only thing I'd do to the wee car is lower it a touch

 

[nicolec2]

Needs it big time...heard so many different stories on it tho....(lower it 40, dont lower at all cus its bad for the car, dont do it as itll affect your warranty) and im confused now lol

agreed..... If your worried about warranty ask the garage you bought it from first, I asked ford and they told me that if they fitted the springs then it wouldnt affect my warranty. Hopefully citroen will be as kind to you

There is no doubt that lowering decreases ride comfort but the severity of this depends on the make of the springs. I found apex in my focus to be middle of the road, not too harsh and still improved handling.

Changing just the springs adds increased wear on the OEM shocks however this is over a prolonged time so i wouldnt worry about it too much.

Dont go for coilovers or uprated shocks as these often further decrease ride comfort too. I'd go no lower than 40mm

 

[Graham]

lower it by about 35mm on eibach springs and if need be get the dealership to fit them as then they will stand over warrenty though you will pay for it

and glad pix done the job, and spread the word as i can print up to 30inch x 20inch

 

[nicolec2]

cool cheers for advice guys i will do my research with shaws!

I say to country gals...

If you go for eibach or apex you cant go wrong, there was a thread on here recently debating the two brands, both good quality and not too expensive
