Good evening 911UK wisdom.
Ok, so it's another which suspension upgrade question (sorry).... I know there have been many already, but can't find one that answers some specific queries I have..
Currently have fairly fresh m030 with a good geo on the vehicle, and while it's not the last word in chassis dynamics, I'm generally very pleased with the way it drives as a 'fast road" car.
However, while the performance is all good, I fancy a slight drop in ride height, and wouldn't mind it being a little more focussed if that was an associated by-product.
My initial thoughts were Ohlins, but given that the hardware fitted currently is pretty fresh and, while I know Ohlins would be superior, I am not hankering for anything better right now.
This has led to mulling over some H&R lowering springs as a (much) lower cost experiment...
However, I do have some concerns which I thought some people may already have some interesting insights on...:
1. Are the spring rates broadly equivalent to m030 springs, as I have seen some info suggesting they are actually lower...
2. Is bottoming out a concern (particularly if the spring rates are lower than m030..)
3. Do people think they are a reasonable match to try
I realise this set-up is ultimately compromised to a proper coilover set-up, but just trying to avoid my quest for a slightly lower ride height making the car dreadful to drive!!
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
