Cost for lowering 25mm?

[Bensds3]

Damn, that's a good price Jamie. I would be interested but I hit my towbar on the floor all the time even without weight on the back. Il have to measure up fully laden.

Has anyone else had an issues after having their ds3 lowered?

[ZACK]

Apart from getting beached a couple of times and having side strips ripped off ?

Nope...

Lol

140€ for 35mm springs
Germany the place to be for cheap tuning items!

You can get a set of Spax springs for £100 30/35mm drop.

Need to get my pennies saved up. Not sure what takes priority.. new PC parts or car since both are £300.. =[

Wonder what they could invalidate warranty wise, if the OEM springs were replaced with 25mm lowered
Damage to the exhaust for starters (Mines not OEM anyway)
Cant see it affecting ECU
Any ideas?
Maybe I should just ask them

[Rickzayne]

Should only effect whatever the suspension touches, wheels, where it connects to the car, anything damaged underneath. Can't see much else having any trouble with just being lowered.

Yep- I agree- hope Citroen do too

Citroen logic:

"By the car being lower, air can't flow as freely as it would do if the car were 25mm higher.

Because of this we believe that too much air has been entering the engine which was subsequently the cause of your engine failure.

The result of this is that your warranty is now void. Kthxbai"

Definitely check. It's better to be on the safe side.

Bilstein doesn't have a B14 set which fits the DS3 THP and DS3R :confused:
Bilstein is selling a set with 47mm outside diameter, but for the THP and DS3R you need 51mm.
They're now busy with a set, but not yet available!

For the springs, H&R has -25mm springs which I also have!

Hi DS3R, did you already did research to above?
Better to let Hangar111 know that it's not yet possible to fit the B14's to a Racing

[ds3r]

Hi Fabian yes we know about that for some time thanks still looking for suspension to fit will let you know when we find some.

[Clairt83]

KW coilovers fit and Spax coilovers fit too as they are both 51mm strut diameter. I was disappointed about the bilsteins as it was my car that was booked in at sptuning for bilsteins fitting and that's when Jamie found out that bilstein had made a boo boo and didn't realise that dsports have 51mm struts instead of the 47mm like the dstyles.

[Jamie@SPTuning]

Bilstein only do the B12 kits in 51mm, but these are just uprated shock absorbers and lowered springs....no adjustment.

Hello mate, check out this company http://www.bc-racing.co.uk/ I emailed them the other day and they said they do a set of coilsovers for the DS3 racing.

[cyclone]

Those BC's are a sweet piece of kit, thinking about getting rid of my KW v3 and getting them.

Hi mate thanks for that they look good will have to look into it .
