Great think will be ordering some soon. Cars cOming off road soon I think for me to do a few things so that can be one of them. Heard tein springs are but to hard for uk roads? Cheers

Just fitted tein springs to my blob sti chopped a coil off each and sits perfect. Ride is no different to standard just didn't sit low enough before the chop. Nothing wrong with doing it aslong as your sensible with it and do a proper job.

springs are all same from blob 03-07
eibach and pro drive best for uk/everyday driving with a roughly 35mm drop

Great thanks.

By changing the springs to a lower type on a used damper, you could risk destroying the seal in the dampers.
I would go for a coilover solution to be safe, e.g. a BC BR

Does cutting springs not affect the spring rate or anything? And can you cut a bit of the coil at a time so you don't go to low..

adam_81_uk

Well I suppose technically it does change spring rate but one coil can't change it to much you have to cut a full coil at a time so after its cut it looks the same shape as it did before so that it sits right in the cups. Had mine on for few hundred miles now with no problems and it definitely handles better reduced the understeer too.

How much does a coil drop it mate,cheers

Well they where supposed to be 35mm lowering springs so I think it's about 60mm down now. This is how it sits now.
