Budget springs recommendations ?

[Robbo149 0]

Hi all, I'm wanting to lower my '93 VR6 approx 30-40mm, not too much, and am looking for some cheap springs with a good ride (not too hard!), something to tide me over til I can afford coilovers! Anybody got any recommendations? Anyone tried GSF's new line?

 

Cheers,

Robbo

I've got a box of GS&F (40mm) lowering springs here - next to my desk. Haven't got around to fitting them yet though :?

 

Wish I'd not bought them now - could get them much cheaper when I move to their head office next weekend :cry:

You'll be able to get me some nice & cheap then, eh Steve? :wink:

 

btw, are you going to Harrogate for the next meet, or will you have already left sunny Yorks by then?

 

Cheers,

Robbo

Moving house to Sutton Coldfield next Friday/Saturday. Got a house sorted now - going to look at it tomorrow morning, at the request of the estate agents. Not sure why - even if I don't like it, there's no time to look for another. :x

 

The springs that I have are for the G60 anyway - different to the VR

do they do springs to lower a VR?

I heard that the Boge lowering springs for the VR are the same rate as standard, but 40mm lower. I think G&S sell them?

 

Boge are OE suppliers to BMW, so they must be fairly good quality.

Jamex give a good ride - even in 60mm lower guise

Extra expense of changing shockers too though - can usually get away with just springs upto 35-40mm

The G60 seems to have standard shocks and Kamex springs. the springs are going to get changed in the next week or so though, so will be available...
