Matching sports spring with stock absorbers ...appreciate feedback

[marv3]

18" and HR springs and it's still too high? Wah.. how big is your wheel well man?

Google Peugeot 408 Turbo. Have a look. But when u look, take note the rims is 17". Mine is 18". So you can roughly gauge how big the wheel arch is.


DRIVEN: Peugeot 408 Turbo and 408 2.0

Thanksss

that's one mofo huge wheel well.

With lowered springs I think you're at a sensible height. Why not take some pics and show us la?

Hellozz...As requested....The front wheel arch is not 1 fist size from the rubber....The original wheel arch design is really huge...What u guys think?

 

[Izso]

I think it looks low enough. But is the floor uneven or something? The front seems a little more elevated than the rear

 

[marv3]

I think the ground is pretty even. I cant tell if the front is elevated though. Looks level to me. Hahahaha. Eye problem. So review still on??? Hahahahaha!!!

 

[Izso]

What review? Remind me again?

Ooooppppssss....My bad...Thought it was you who joked about the review in previous page...But is actually gunerzzzz who mentioned it....Hahahahaha....

Now that i've done my springs....Wonder what next project to do??? Hmmmmm

looks lowered already.. you should have measured the height from centre rim hub to the fender edge, before and after.. this way you will know how much the springs lower your car.

from the picture, the rear looks lower than front.. but this is probably due to the original setup is already like that:

Yah man....Kind of regret never measure. Was kinda excited about getting it done, and forgotten to measure it before the springs.

Yes you are right. The rear wheel gap, even before springs, has been smaller compared to the front. I think ori setup is like that. But from the pics, i think it has lowered. But by how much i dont know. Looks better now coz the front wheel gap is not mogo huge anymore. About 5cm-6cm from the rubbers.

But the ride has definitely stiffen and the handling is better now. The road feedback to steering is much better now. Loving it.....

Looking at what to do next......Downpipe perhaps??? Hahahahha

It's a turbo?

Depends on your budget. But you'll need a new thread already since this is specifically talking about matching springs with abs.

time to get a piggyback ecu to release a bit more horses.
my firend is using the 508 turbo and the engine does not feels like a turbo unit.
it smooth and very powerful indeed.
so,u can imagine wht more horses will do rite?
just make sure u stay within the gearbox torque limitation.
