Recommended lowering springs ?

I think most people on here will vote for the cooksport springs, although you cant really go wrong with eibach either

 

Are the cooksports much harder than oem? as quite interested but don't want to ruin the ride comfort, ended up doing that(along with too many other mods) with my old 172 and although great fun it was a bit hardcore for an everyday car!

 

There's been reports that the Clio Cooksports are a little too shirt for the standard shocks and rattle/move a lot - is everyone happy with the Megane ones?

 

Cooksport springs are a great mod go for it

I thought that but people have been having issued with the rears moving around?

They should be fine on the Megs though as there's not much difference.



STILL can't decide to get them or not - I need more pictures!

I've only seen one Trophy on them and I'm not convinced I like the height!

 

It's amazing how a good set of springs transforms the car, cooksport is the best option on the megs.
The rear moves on mine Daz as i've got shitty budgets on the back. Literally the only reason why in the wet .
Perfect stance too, every one does mention it when they see my car!

 

I think he is referring to the springs being unseated in their mounts due to them being shorter in length.

And tbh, the eibachs that came with the R26 were already lowered/shortened in height and can be unseated in certain circumstances.

 

Ah I see sounds like in extreme cases. I've never heard of that happening, something use to knock in the rear over big bumps but now it's settled in .

 

That reminds me Will I need to buy new f1 stickers!
Its around 3.5-4 inches from the splitter to the floor, perfectly low enough to be practical on our roads .

 

Anyone had any issues with multi storeys? or general speed humps?

 

See for me that's why I won't get them, why would I want the car touching the floor when driving fast?!

 

+1 especially a daily i don't want to be avoiding speed bumps!

 

Naa made my mind up - been there and done that with catching things - I came off my local car park ramp not long ago and got out while it was on the incline (they wondered what I was doing!)

My freshly painted bumper would have gouged itself to bit if it was any lower!

 

Yeah that one is on its ass!!

 

Cooksports :thumbup: less body roll its not even too harsh on 19"s with 35 profile tyres if your getting springs get them

 

O and aza get them rears changed pal

 

MOT first mate, then i'll treat her to matching rears. Just had the cambelt done gotta save up lol.

 

Been looking for lowering springs myself, Cooksport are out of stoch for quite some time now and i believe they don't ship outside of the UK, any one had good experience with Eibach's? Some pic's of eibach's on a 225 would be nice

 

I'd say wait for them but if you cant wait or have a prob ie broken spring i have a set of used proline copies that mark black supplied me i felt no different to sportlines but were a tad lower after they settled £60 collected

 

ive had my cooksport springs on for about 2 months now,
Deffo agree the stance looks mint!! Which i was looking for before purchasing, but one thing to consider if using your car as i do travelling fully loaded back an forth to work ( 4 persons ) it can be a bit crashy going over uneven roads especially big SPEED BUMPS!! as we have in cardiff!!
so if that is a major stumbling block for you think long and hard!! or like me drive slow and choose your routes,
but got to say i'm still glad i purchased them big thumbs up from me.

 

LEON, mine aren't crashy on a full load. Give it a few more months it should settle down a bit more! Wait till you really push it in the bends brilliant!!!

 

They are very progressive springs though, never heard any one mention crashy until now.
