  • suspension for standard wheels

    I currently have Konis and Eibachs and I am toying with going back to standard ride height, the only thing is I remember when I first had my stage 4 done and every time I accelerated all I could see was the sky as the back squatted so much
    Could I run a combo of Koni's and uprated standard springs or Konis and standard springs even?
    Or should I get some Ahmed springs as they don't seem to lower the car too noticeably
    I like the standard ride but it was a bit wallowy and looked a bit monster trucky too, although I do quite like that now I am getting on a bit

    Ahmed springs, and if you order today, I could get them to you by middle of next week, as I am collecting my next batch off Ahmed at the weekend .

    Nordschleife, there's only two barriers to worry about - the ones on the left and the ones on the right .

        i didnt like the look of mine when running standard wheels and ahmed springs. Standard wheels look much better on standard ride height, they tend to look a little fake in my eyes.

        I still have all my old suspension for mine just in case I want to go back to standard again

                to be honest, it looks good like that. Standard look is coming back in I think. I was happy with it like that. Hated it with the suspension but no ronnies tho. Thats why I nearly bankrupted myself to get the wheels lol.

                excuse the mess, the car did a lot of miles that weekend up and down the motorway to get the suspension sorted

                            That looks really low Neil, surprising if the Ahmeds aren't supposed to drop it much

                            cheers for the pics mate helps me make my mind up a bit more
