Having trouble finding a good set of mv6 springs so looking at getting eibach lowering springs .. however will lower another 15mm over mv6 height which i dont want.


Has anyone ever used a superpro rear spring insulator raiser to increase height ?? Or has anyone done anything to increase height once lowering springs fitted... If so what ??

 And is there anything that can be done on front ??

Front will be ok at -30mm, it's the rear that can't struggles to achieve the settings over 20mm lower than standard.

Fitting two more spring pads (one each side) raises the height to just with in tolerance with no load.

Have you a link for these super pro thingys? Let's have a look see.

If you mean this type of thing

Assuming that's of omega proportions, then yes that will do nicely. They aren't completely ideal as they slightly alter the seating angle and make the spring sit slightly more banana shaped than they should be. But needs must.

Also, be aware that the peg that holds the spring in is only so long. If fitting too many pads or to thick a pad, then there isn't enough leg to hold the spring in. Although 10mm is fine on each end of the spring.
