        Usually peeps have slightly lower at the front for better traction- tipping the weight forward

        Think mine were 25 back 35 front dropped

          I would recommend coilovers...
          Because the DS3 has a very light back when you brake hard (the back tingles around) even on lowering springs.

            When i considered coilovers or lowering springs, thought id get to the stage of setting the coilovers and never adjusting them. So went for cheaper option of springs.

              Go coilovers over springs every day of the week! coilovers you can lower without eating into travel of suspension and sag. Springs eat into travel and as such work poorly. when the car goes light it affects it even more because of the increase in sag.

              If you want either give me a shout as i'm an authorised dealer for Eibach.

                Does Eibach do Coilovers for the DS3 THP then? Had Eibach lowered springs on mine, courtesy James at SPT

                  They do indeed, upto a 45mm drop on the front and upto a 40mm drop on the rear. Drop me a PM if you are interested as I offer discount for club members.

                    The coilovers are called "Eibach ProStreet S". They use the the KW V1 shock absorber and Eibach springs

                      Liked the look of the BC Coilovers, but they were around £900 supplied and fitted whereas the springs were on £200

                      Saved all thatcrawling around on the floor adjusting them

                        The Eibach Pro street s coilovers kit is slightly cheaper at £823 RRP like I said though, I offer discount to club members.

                            Link? As I've just looked and due to the exchange rate they're more expensive than they are in the UK!
