Default Does Anyone have pictures of Weltmeister 200lb springs Installed

Just installed my koni yellows and the ride is still a bit cushy with the dampers cranked near stiff... I dont want the car to be too low as i daily drive it so I am open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I have those on my car as well, very easy to swap out...

Car lowered around an inch, I had to get smaller front tires though because the 225/60/15s I had before were rubbing on hard corners, now I have 225/50s

Car looks great lowered, ride isn't harsh at all, and it corners noticeably flatter. Not to mention there is practically zero nose dive on braking.

I can get a picture tomorrow.

Thanks... it would have to be pretty different for me to pull them off and compress them again.

thanks.

I have Weltmeister 200lbs on my car.

Sadly this is the best picture. (Rear is not lowered)



They probably brought the ride height down about 1 inch or so.

Cushy? I have my new yellows set at 50% and I would not describe as cushy... Maybe you have other suspension issues above and beyond your shocks and struts...

I have these springs as well but with a metal spacer on top to maintain stock(ish) ride height. I bought them already assembled (strut/spring/mount) from a Rennlister so not sure where the spacers were sourced from but this might be the best solution for you as well.

Cparkin,

I see in your sig you are running MO30 "bars"...are you referring to the torsion or sways?

The reason I ask is, if you are running the 30mm T-bars the recommended front spring is 300lb.
