Ride height?

Drakey · 05-02-2008, 06:32 AM

Does the 2ltr Sport sit lower than the Pro-Cee`d 2 or 3.
My 3 seems to sit really high, very comfortable ride but I`m still young at heart and prefer the slightly lower look if possible.

It's a matter of habit! Once you get used to it, you won't notice it!

You can lower the car by installing an Eibach ProKit (-3.5cm), this is on my future plans!

Would love to also, what are they charging for the spring kit?
Any problems with the dreaded warrenty?

Don't think there would be a problem. I found an H&R kit for sale here:
ATH - Hinsberger Shop - Tuning und Zubehör für Mazda, Hyundai und Kia - Home

(H&R is as good if not better than Eibach)

Watch out, my dealer explicitly said that if the vehicle had been modified (IE Suspension lowered) warentee would be void.

Well there you have it, it's an 'approved' kit. Anything which is not approved by the manufacturer will invalidate the warranty (if they chose).

That's why it's always safer to have any work carried out by the dealer so that if anything goes wrong / breaks / wears out prematurely, they can't wriggle out of their responsibilities warranty wise

Would that be similar to the Sport??

I dont know if the Sport pack includes the springs... they are listed here as extras and i guess they are stiffer, and lower the car a couple of cm
