[Mk2] [NA] BEST SPRINGS AND BEST DROP

Post by The Tron »

im after dropping the car but it will still be a daily, i will be looking at renewing / replacing the shocks over time but nothing extreme, dont mind it being a little bit stiff as long as it handles reasonably well and drops around 35/40 mm, any suggestions ? also after a decent place that i can buy some spacers.

I have apex springs. They lowered my car a nice amount and made it slightly stiffer! great for the money :wink:

Tron.... don't buy before you try. Get yourself along to some meets and try some different set ups before you commit. You don't want to turn a daily driver into something you don't want to use....

R.

PS. Also don't expect the same drop as advertised... most measure from the standard rev1 ride height which is higher than the later cars plus you've probably got some sagging now on the old standard springs.

Any idea where you can get hold of Eibach Pro lines springs? I have been trying to get hold of a set for sometime but can't find any stockists!

Hi Peter I dropped Dan an e-mail as you suggested he replied stating that the Eibach Pro springs have been discontinued for the Mk2 MR2's. However they still appear to be available from the US but with a pretty hefty price tag for delivery!
