tom_rob_89 10 Posted December 30, 2012 hello all, I am thinking of getting some lowering springs for my 2.0 8v and im just wondering if i will need to upgrade anything else like the spring caps? or if they will just fit strait on with all standard parts? I'm thinking off getting apex -35mm. Also are most c's springs the same apart from the VR? thank you anyone that could give me some advice :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted December 31, 2012 Shouldn't need to change spring caps and those springs sound like they'd be fine but I think yours may be complicated by being a 4 cylinder but a very late model... just make sure you don't get a VR6 spring kit :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom_rob_89 10 Posted December 31, 2012 Ok thank you for your reply. So is it just the vr6's that are different so any other springs should be ok? Would u suggest putting a new set of standard shocks on it or changing any bushes at the same time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted December 31, 2012 It really depends how much you want to spend. If money is no object then absolutely worth replacing the shocks (if you don't know how many miles they've done) as well as using the chance to refresh the bushes... but as I say, really depends on your budget.. cost can spiral quite quickly if you get carried away! Corrado feels SO good once everything is replaced / renewed though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
