  • Cost for lowering 25mm?

    Any quotes for all round, off 25mm?
    What are the best (and cheapest) springs to get?

    Will the onboard computers get confused over this change?

    There's no ECU that measures how far from the ground your car is so you don't need to worry about that.

    I think you'll struggle to get the car dropped just 25mm though cost effectively, might be easier to just stick some weights in the back.

        Eibachs will be perfect for you, a subtle drop but noticeable. Can't remember the exact amount it drops it by but think its 30mm.
        We're going to use these on ours but waiting until the rolling road testing is done.
        In stock, can let you have a set for £160.00

              +£100 for fitting, takes around 3 hours.

                  So lowering 30mm all together is about €400, that's awesome, but will the Citroen garage do it for that price?

                    See Jamie's price for fitting ? Well you can easily double that, maybe even triple...

                        Do you need a 4 wheel alignment after ? If so that will push up the cost

                            The front most certainly as everything gets taken apart there. Wouldn't bother with the back, all your doing is disconnecting the shock and pulling the spring.
