I have the chance of lowering my car by 40mm using Pi Springs for £10. They are 9 months old and have been on a car the whole time since then. Are these springs worth buying and fitting or is it going to feel really bad and give me lots of problems in the future.

Cheers,
Dan

worth it for a tenner, but they are weaker than standard vauxhall springs

I thought people thought Pi were shit? I heard they were very bouncy and lower the car too much?

its the shocks which govern the ride quality, ie bouncy ness, not the springs.

ah yeah, eibach ones are far thicker. their pro kit ones are anyways. Dunno about the sportline ones which are the same price as the pi ones.
