        Why would you want to see my springs, just stick your head under any car and they won't look that much different :L

          Have only driven a Racing which is 15mm lower than standard
          Would like to see a DS3 that's 45 mm lowered. Not seen one that low
          No worries

          Ed- Know what springs look like hope they do them in red

                  I had them on then lol, down about 70mm at the moment with the custom springs, makes a load of difference

                    Wowzer- and I thought 30mm on front and 25mm at back would be pushing it
                    Just want the handling, myself
                    And as you know........... a toss up whether coilovers or springs for me (Cost plays a part)

                    Anyway Jay- your 45mm are impressive

                      You can pay for coilovers monthly Chris lol

                      This is what mine would cost http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/perfor...n/ds3/2010/1-6
                      DS3 1.6THP DSport with a few bits added.....nickname BB :bow:
                      Performance...Depends on how heavy my right foot is

                        Yes. Thanks Gaz. Although its not really the cost of the outlay that makes me think
                        Its more whether its worth the cost in comparison to springs, relative to how long the car is owned, whether its used a lot for track, etc etc.
                        And obvs driving another DS3 with coilovers and/or springs would help decide

                          Every time I have lowered my cars with just springs I ended up regretting it and changed the springs / shocks a couple more times to find something I like or have ended up on coilovers in the end anyway. Learned my lesson and just use coilovers from the start now.

                          Jay car looks fantastic. good job.

                                And I wouldn't say it's much different than standard Chris apart from it corners better as there is a lower centre of gravity and just looks much better than standard
