Springs

[hunty]

Calibra 2.0 16v,
One of my front springs has snapped,

What do you guys reccomend ?

Standard seems to be expensive,
I dont want the ride too hard, just an improved sporty feel.

Ive seen Jamex quite cheap, What you think to these ?
with around 40mm drop.

Jamex springs, Eibach springs or Spax springs seem to be the best.

I wouldn't recommend Gmax, even on a 40mm drop the ride just seems too harsh and go-kart like.

I've got Eibach springs on mine (30-35mm lower on Eco 16V) & I'm very happy with them. The ride height looks well & they are really comfortable too. Got them from company called ESP design. Price? around £130 including delivery

i recently lowered my car with a set of spax 40mm springs (didnt need to replace the dampers as i was told they were perfect as the car hadnt been molested etc.

what ive found is that its a slightly bumpier ride (mind you i think i need to replace the arb links soon) but it looks wicked and corners really well..

I would recommend Gmax springs, used them for a few years now without any problems.

im with you mr V great for going round the lanes the front end feels much more planted and very rarely does the back end complain

gmax are certainly a good budget spring but Eibach would win it for me

[Robs-se]

Gmax for me
