335 suspension choice
I'm considering upgrading the suspension on my 335. I've read alot of threads on lowering springs, coil overs etc, but I don't really want to lower it too much (it already grinds on the ground turning onto driveways etc)
I compete in autox, so would like to stiffen/improve the handling more than just for the street. Has anyone used lowering springs with spacers or anything like that? I know we can upgrade to m3 bushings also, but is that benefit better bang for buck than stiffer springs? Cheers |

I'd recommend searching as there is a lot of info on these forums about lowering the vehicle and improving handling. For a simple spring upgrade, the H&R Sports or Eibach Pro Kit are a solid choice. You may want to consider a spring and shock replacement like the H&R Cup Kit or Koni FSD/Eibach Pro Kit.

Yeah, I've read alot of posts but most of the springs like h&r sport lower the car.
I don't really want to lower it anymore than the sport suspension drop as it already grinds the floor when entering driveways etc... |

You may also want to consider a shock/spring combo. I would recommend that you check out the KONI FSD w/ Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details!

Have you thought about upgrading your front and rear sway bars? That will stiffen the suspension and improve stability during cornering without affecting ride height
