How low can it go?

[MadLad91]

Hey all, 

I'm looking into potentially lowering my 2006 Superb and was wondering what would be the best way to go about it?

I know a few people on here have already done so and if you could give me you advice and suggestions of products, what works well/ doesn't work well, etc it would be much appreciated. 

I've had a look at some of the projects and they look awesome. 

Thanks a bunch guys and girls.

Not a owner of a Superb.. but having just gone from Springs to Coilovers I would suggest just going straight for Coilovers, much more flexibility on getting a ride height you want, good luck with the choice

I can tell you from personal experience the B12 kit (B8 shocks & Eibach springs) is a very good choice.

Mine ended up 20mm lower, no problem with speed bumps and the ride is actually more comfortable than the Sachs shocks and factory springs I had previously.

I purchased mine from Shark Peformance in Mansfield and can thoroughly reccomend them, I've been to many, many garages and these guys were the most helpful, professional service I have ever seen.

They go for around £730 for the kit and are worth every penny.

They go for around £730 for the kit and are worth every penny.

 

Or £460 if you buy them directly from Germany.

 

I assume the price quoted above was including fitting though?

 

A B12 kit really will transform the car.

£732 was the price I paid for the kit and Shark offered me a very good price fitted.

I took the kit and had it fitted elsewhere though and ended up going back to Shark to sort the problem I mentioned in another thread.

You live, you learn.

OP I see you're in Brum, I'm only in Tamworth, if you want to know what a B12 kit feels like on an 06 Superb I'll take you for a drive if you find yourself over this way.

LJH888 that would be pretty epic, at least id know what I'm letting myself in for before i go ahead with it

I'd be glad to help, you'll be pleasantly surprised I think, they really are comfortable, I've often had four passengers over speed bumps too, no problems.

Unless you see it right next to a stock Superb it's not really glaringly obvious it's been lowered.

[MadLad91]

ill travel up in mine when things are sorted and if you dont mind i'll park um next to each other so u can get an idea of how it looks compared to stock

[LJH888]

Yes no problem mate, shout up whenever you fancy doing it.

I reckon you'll run off and buy a kit straight after
