I am looking for lowering spring options for my car, 1.6 thp 155bhp model on stock coils
I want to reduce the enormous gap the standard car has between the wheels and the fender and also to improve a bit the handling, I have the standard 17inch Bellone wheels
also I don't want the car to be too low so that it does not give too much stress to the stock coils and also to prevent the tyres rubbing on the car in speed bumps etc.
From a small research I've done the 3 main popular-high quality lowering springs that work well with stock coils are:
H&R
Vogtland
Eibach
I would prefer the Eibach as it's a well known brand for suspension but the lowering it gives for the ds3 is 20-25mm in front and 10 for the rear, I think it will be very very close to the standard lowering with such a small lowering amount?
Vogtland on the other hand give a standard 30mm front/rear for the ds3 , I don't know if they have the same quality build as the eibach and if 30mm will cause the wheels to rub on the car?
H&R have two versions , one with 30mm lowering and the other one with 25mm lowering, I think the ideal for me would be to go for the 25mm lowering.. A few people that have H&R 30mm springs on their ds3 told me that they are very hard (something i don;t want) - also i don't know if the 25mm lowering h&r springs would be a bit better and not that hard?
Also if anyone was any other suggestions for quality lowering springs feel free to mention them
