i have the spax springs from wellsmart

thanks wellsmart!!!!! :D

my suspension guy with over 30 years experience said in his opinion they were much better then the eibach springs which he has also fitted a set (he is an eibach dealer too) also that was before i told him that the springs cost me $150aud less then the eibachs

im happy with them and they are lower than the eibachs too.... but when i get the time im getting some custom wound springs and special shocks to suit... still not low enough for my liking 25mm drop at front and 25mm rear + additional 15mm rear drop from resetting them... another 10-15mm all round will be great....

ahh i should just go bags all round but there's nowhere to hide the tank and compressor :( i like my cars really really low

How about painting the rear view mirrors same color as the car. Will look good.

After reading that many people found the Eibach springs too harsh, I gave the H&R a try and was impressed. The Smart's ride is 3x better. No more bounce and has progressive damping. Car looks really sharp now. Only problem is that I did something wrong and front suspension makes a strange noise when making tight turns. Looks like I will have to take it apart again, does anyone have a chart on what goes where when I take it apart?
