What suspension?

[JCB123]

Hi all...I've got a 9-3 2.0t Vector Cab and I want to drop it a touch, as I think it sits a bit high...anyone done this? Any suggestions on suspension?

This is purely a cosmetic mod, I don't need the best performing/handling etc, therefore don't want to spend too much....

Thanks

Jon

I think from memory the factory approved Hirsch springs are just under 300 quid and are very good, and far better value for money than a pair of 200 quid aftermarket springs.

If you go aftermarket, get the Eibach Pro springs (they are about 180-200 quid) as these are progressive springs like the Hirsch ones, but are a bit lower.

My 05 Aero rag top has the Hirsch springs fitted, I think lower at the rear by 10mm, front by 15mm to standard, certainly improves the looks, just have to watch kerbs when parking!

With regards to the ride, it is firm and level on corners without kicking you in the arse every time you go over a bump!
