THP Lowering Springs

[Broda]

What springs do people recommend? Thinking dropping it 45mm anyone have pictures? For want to struggle on speed bumps though,

I struggle with the larger speed bumps, which there are several round here, and that's with only 30mm lowering on Eibachs. Handling loads better tho.

[Broda]

Got any pictures?

Sweet, do you struggle with nose clearance? I'm assuming with the stock splitter I should be okay, did I just read Mark A gets away with 65mm at the front? :O what is this sorcery!

You have a DS3 Racing right? I would say 35mm Springs will be the maximum, because your car is 15mm than every other model
And I scratch my lip sometimes, and this will be expensive when you have a DS3 Racing :P

155 remapped, so 45mm would be okay with no front splitter?

ALL! depends on the roads that You normally drive as to how much you can lower and not hit stuff all the time. Pay attention to the obstacles you have on roads you frequently drive. Find a low traffic time and stop over the obstacles get out and look at how much room you have to lower it and maintain clearance. As to the splitter if you do not scrape the stock rubber air dam then something like the Triple R spitter will not scrape either. If you find yourself scrapping the stock air dam you could go with a cupra spitter that actually has more ground clearance than the original Citroen part.

Edit: You could also go with a coilover setup. That way you could adjust the height to exactly match your requirements. Yes the initial parts cost will be higher but installation / wheel alignment costs are the same.

In 2 weeks time, I'm getting mine lowered by 35mm. Quite a lot of speed bumps around here, but decided to do it anyway. I guess it won't be too bad.

That's my DS3 THP155 lowered with 35mm Springs (in Reality it's more than that)

[Broda]

That looks such a nice height practical aswell! How much is it really?

[Shiro]

I would say something between 40 and 45mm, but I can not compare it to stock because I bought my DS3 with the springs already installed

[Broda]

I think I'm going for 40mm Spaxx, not sure I can get away with 45mm because of stupid speed bumps grrrrr

[Broda]

Fuck it just got some 45mm lmfao
