vstylz Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hey guys,i'd just like to get lowered a little w/out having too much compromise... i'd like to get the IPDs since i've heard they lower about an inch and arent too rough but at the same time i just upgraded tire sizes from 225 to 235 keeping the same wall so im sitting a little higher now... what are the drops for the different springs and how's their stiffness... should i get the IPDs and if not which one would you all think is the best for both handling and comfort... are any of the springs adjustable?

gdizzle Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 In all honesty, I think weitec would be your best option. TME springs are stiff btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The springs are a 30mm drop for the C70, they will run you 200 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any instock right now. The weitec ride MUCH better than the IPDs. I have the TME springs on my R and the weitecs on my T5, the R with the ohlins set on 1 is much harsher than the weitecs. The weitecs are smooth and sporty, not stiff and choppy. I actually perfer the ride of the R though, it's all in what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your T5 have stock shocks with the weitecs? if not, then how would they ride w/stock shocks as apposed to aftermarket...sorry for the barrage of questions lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
