whats goin on with my new springs! its higher!

[mikejay]

Whats goin on here? Just had my 30mm springs fitted and its a mile higher! Not happy at all. Surly somethings a miss here?

[vrsadz]

when did you have them fitted,  let them settle and see again in a weeks time

[mikejay]

About 10 min ago. Bit worried about it be honest. Had cars lowered in the past and never seen one that high at first

[vrsadz]

is the front any lower. are they the correct springs for the car 

[mikejay]

Yeah front looks ok. Its just the back. Pi 30mm. Octy estate. Thats what it says on the box

[vrsadz]

could be how its sat on the drive etc, u sure there for a vrs if for a normal octavia could not lower at all cos vrs is lower anyway.  do you notice a difference in handling and body roll

[mikejay]

No its nothin to do with drive. Yeah it handles better. Just feelin funny bacause the back is up

[mikejay]

This was standard

[Ootohere]

As the old original spring came off, did you compare it to the new lowering one going on?

Length, coills, thickness etc

 

Its amazing how often people modify,

only to discover they just modified something less than it already was modified ?

[mikejay]

Just took it.for a drive. Deliberatly went over a speed bump, heard an almighty clunk and now its right phew!

[vrsadz]

must not have been sat right but looks good now whats the ride like a bit more harsh than standard.  where did you get your whiteline rear arb from and how much 

[mikejay]

Pritty much as standard really. Cant test it proper yet with the rain and rush hour traffic. Got my roll bar from awesome on the black fri deal for 140 quid

[vrsadz]

can you tell its loads better with lowering and rear arb

[mikejay]

Yeah. It rides better and just feels safer with less roll.

[vrsadz]

i might have to get myself a rear arb

[mikejay]

Go for it mate. I have just started a thread giving my thoughts on the springs http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/316650-pi-30mm-springs-my-thoughts/?view=getnewpost

Sounds like who ever fitted your springs did not seat them right, I am glad that you have got it sorted now though.

[MCD]

Looks good now mate, are you happy with the stance? Worth the hastle no doubt?

[mikejay]

Yeah im happy mate. Glad i went for the 30mm drop and not the eibach 20mm

[radders567]

Yeah. Me too. Just waiting till the end of the month and then I am ordering my RARB.

[MCD]

That's why I chose HR over Eibach as well. Such a good looking motor when lowered

[Darrenm72]

Correct!!lol think i saw you this morning about half 7 goin past sainsburys?

 

Correct, just finished work.
