How low can it go?

Featured Replies

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 :thumbup:

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.

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.  :thumbup:

£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.

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

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

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