I'm looking to get some lowering springs and shocks for 3130. I'm sold on the Spax shocks but not sure the difference between SpecialT's lowering springs and DPI's springs. Can any one point me in the right direction. Also I would like to update all rubber bushing at the same time. What is the best kit to do that? Poly or OEM

Spax shocks are what we (DMCH etc) are selling now.Originally Posted by dmc3130
Eibach makes the springs we use.

Another question. With the lower back springs do you need the adjustable link for the rears so the tires sit flat? It would seam that you would.

You don't have to change your rear springs.
I fitted shorter firmer springs at the front and dropped the height of the rear 'custom' shocks at the back to improve the stance (as well as handing). Most of the aftermarket shocks (Spax, Protech and others) allow the rear shocks to be adjusted to change the ride height. If you would like to see photos please see the topic below:-

Completed suspension upgrades on my car are as follows:-
Protech ‘oil filled’ aluminium shocks (twin adjustment at the rear + single adjustment at the front)
Kutchen strut brace
DPNW ARB kit
New rubber bushes all round
UK front lower springs
Bryan Pearce upper and lower stainless control arms
