Boinnnngggg.....

Can someone suggest replacement springs please. I just got mine and it has been lowered......too much...Every speed bump is met with a scrape. I don't want stock, just something a bit more sensible. I put H&Rs on my 435 xDrive and then went to ACS as the H&Rs looked great, but we're not useable due to a similar problem.
Recommendations anyone?

What springs are you on now? Eibachs are around 30mm lower than SE, and M Sport springs are 15mm

I had H&Rs on my coupe for about 6 months and had the same issues... looked great but was a pain in the behind on bumps, I've now fitted coilovers.

Would be good to understand what you have now? Or post a pic to show how low it is someone on here may be able to hazzard a guess based on arch gaps... I think Eibachs are slightly higher than H&R. M-Sport could be the way forward for you depending on what you have now.

Suplex.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I haven't taken a wheel off yet, (only had it a couple of days).
I reckon the arch clearance is next to zero.....I will put a set of Eibachs on it.
Its only for cruising around and I don't intend screaming it, I have my 435 for that sort of malarkey!
Hers a pic anyway:

Try to get the ones that don't snap. Mines on 114k miles and just had its second set of replacements. That really shouldn't happen!

Apart from being too low, the car looks great!

I have a similar set up. I find it adds to the "Will I make it / will I not" game

Cracking motor!
Mine is more a case of "how much damage?"
:wink:

Thanks, she is pretty...
What did you put in it? Stock OEMs or anything I should avoid?

The first replacement set, or at least one of them, broke before I owned the car. I only know because its MOT history shows this as a failure reason. So sorry, I cannot help. (Indeed, I have no idea of the make that have just been fitted - they're just boinnngggyyy things to me!)

This is how M sport looked like on my old vert - they only started rubbing following Bing on some costal roads many moons back, otherwise just fine
