107 recon, or 19" CSL rep and new tyres?

[MACK]

Most likely have a set of 4 E86 Sport OE springs available shortly if interested , rears pretty recent & i won't be asking the earth for them

Sounds like just the thing for me Mr Wilks.........what are you fitting ?

Well i have a dilemma , i prefer H & Rs for the feel & comfort aspect as they most reflect OE (if not better) but they tend to lower a touch too much for my liking i don't mind lowered but i don't like slammed Eibachs lower less but in my previous experience spoil the ride then there are the Spax springs which lower between the 2 but ive yet to try them out for ride ? hence my dilemma

That's interesting. I was always led to believe that eibachs generally gave a better ride than H&R springs. To be honest I've never really gone in for lowering springs on a road car till now and recently fitted eibachs along with new shocks and theyre definetly an improvement on my tired m sport setup. My opinion on springs has solely been based on car forum chatter. What cars have you try H&R/Eibachs on?

Care to share the specs Tyreman?

They look like nice reps, very accurate to actual CS/CSL wheels.


Also what tyres?


Did you go 235/35 and 265/30?


How did the ride/steering feel/weight change after the swap? I assume you were on 225/255 18s?
Bought from CM Wheels who are a forum sponsor on M3Cutters and delivered within a couple of days.

19x8.5 et38
19x9.5 et40
Colour is Hyper Silver

The tyres are 235/35R19 & 265/30R19 Goodyear Asymmetric 3, drives great at the moment but I'm undecided whether to lower it or not.

Nice car and wheels Tyreman,
I am tempted to do the same; I think hypersilver would be great with Interlagos Blue

Go for it you know that you want to lol.................I believe that CM Wheels are based in Ireland too, although possibly in the North

Could be worth a PM to member Taz , i know he has a set of ZM fitment virtually brand new ( as in never fitted) CSL 19s in hyper black / shadow chrome finish all tyred up with brand new Hankooks on ( 235 35 19 / 265 30 19 )
Think he's had a change of heart so could be up for offers

Sounds like Eibach springs with around 10mm spacers on the spring perches to raise the ride height would be the optimum combination then - are such things commonly available?

You are so right Tyreman: I do want them, I just feel bad I got new Michelin PSS at the rear only 2 months ago!
Yes, I understand CM Wheels are in Dungannon Co. Tyrone (less than 2 hrs away from Dublin); makes it easy to go there and take a look at a few samples :wink:
