Advice on lowering springs

[Simo7]

I have an 02 vts, completely standard apart from previous owner fitting different springs either side. I'm obviously going to replace these with some new ones, but I would like the car a little lower. I had koni shocks and quite low springs on my rst and the ride was just way too harsh. I use alot of country roads now and again so I don't want to go too low. I'm thinking 35mm, does anyone have any experience with this amount of lowering on this car and if it affects the ride greatly, thanks.

If your keeping standard shocks then the eibach 35mm ones have a good reputation for keeping similar comfort to standard height. I used 35mm apex ones and the ride was abit harder, but not unbearable at all. :)

Yeah I'm sticking with standard shocks, I might give the eibach ones a try, I've seen them advertised on a few websites. Cheers

Have 40mm drop Apex springs on mine with standard shocks, mainly country roads. Hard ride but no noticeable body roll on any corners.

i had eibach 35mm springs on my car before with standard shocks all round and the rear lowered 40mm
was very comfortable and felt much like standard, except handled better as there was less body roll, being slightly lower than standard

eibach do a 35 and 45mm spring

Thanks for the replies, I'm just looking for a little more stability in the corners without compromising the ride too much, 35mm eibachs seem to be getting a good rap so I think I'll give them a try and then drag the torsion bars out, loads of fun!

Eibach is the best spring manufacturer in the world.
