Hello all. I am interested i purchasing some lowering springs for my 4-door MZ3 i. looks like none are on sale on this forum, so I am looking at e-bay. I want a pair this is good for a reasonable budget.
so I have a few questions:
which do you all suggest?
how much of a drop is good?/what is your drop/maybe a pic or two?
will I be able to swap wheels sometime in the future with lowering springs?
is there a difference between springs for the sedan and hatch, because on ebay tein lists different ones with different drops for the hatch and sedan, while other brands do not clarify.
Will I have to purchase anything else other than the springs to do the lowering?

here are a few I found on ebay, but I don't know which brands are good and what not so your help would be greatly appreciated!

The Tien or the Eibachs would be my suggestions. Make sure the Teins are real though. There are some knock-offs running around out there.

If you get springs that lower more than 1.3 inches you will want to get a camber correct kit for the rear suspension.
