DS3R Suspension

[lufc_lad]

You're probably sick of seeing this thread name :/, i tried using the search tool but found nothing.
How does the DSR suspension differ from the THP? I'm aware that it is 15mm lower and stiffer. Does anyone know how they have achieved this? Is it on different springs, if so does anyone know where to get these online as i can't find anywhere that explains it.

I would like to get my THP lowered but i'm a bit cautious about using eibachs etc. as they made my Fiesta Zetec S scrape horribly on speeds bumps in my area. I'm only looking to get it lowered by no more than 20mm.

Thanks in advance!

They're On Citroen Racing Springs But God Knows How Much They'll Cost...

Thanks for the link. I've had a look at that site before, all of their springs are a bit too low for me.
I think i might have to go see the local dealer and see if they have anything on the DS3R springs.

You Want It Dropped 20mm ? What's The Point ?

The Difference Won't Be Noticeable...

@ Zack:
Is that?

Here's a picture from 20 - 25mm lowering on my DS3 (H&R Springs)

Still Massive Amounts Of Arch Gap So It Still Looks Standard ?...

Think he wants to have that "standard" look, so 20mm is then more then enough for him.

Part-Number is 29118-1

On the DS3 these springs are lowering 20-25mm
On a Peugeot 207 these are good for 35mm

Thanks for the link.
How does it go over speed bumps Fabian? Any scraping?

@ Zack, its not the appearance i want the springs for. More the stiffened ride and improved handling.

[Fabian]

No, no problems at all with speedbumps here!
The ride is a bit stiffened but still comfy enough (for me)
Handling is also a bit better.
