Show me pictures of your Convertibles please.

I have a Sport on 18" S-line wheels with a broken rear spring and looking at replacing it (The pair).

My local motorfactors are telling me its listed as a Sport but has standard suspension.

I want to see how Sports sit as standard and also how others sit on standard suspension.

Here you go Leegsi..

Sorry to hear of your broken rear spring.

Im running 265/30/20 on 9inch wide wheels on stock suspension. Perfectly fine on normal roads and harsh on pothole fueled roads!

Have decided in the last few weeks I may dip down the full adjustable coil over route to sort this out.

Here's a pic of mine on coil overs lowered about 50mm on 245.30.20 tyres

I gotta say..looks sweet. 20's are so much smaller looking in the photos. What coilovers are you sporting ?

Thats the same wheel and tyre combination we have but all on standard sport suspension.

My local motorfactors list my car as a sport but fitted with standard suspension and not 'sport' suspension.

The 'Sport' is lower isnt it and if they give me standard springs it will sit higher?

 

[VagCabby]

Sport suspension is 20mm lower than SE suspension.

 

[leegsi]

So this is Sport suspension? (Fitted with 245/40/18):

Looks like sport suspension to me.............get a set of B5 spring perches on the front and you will have the same arch gap as the rear.

 

[VagCabby]

Yup that's sport suspension, as said above, b5 perches will drop the front end in line with the rear

 

[leegsi]

Thanks for the input guys.

Cant go lower on the front due to large speed humps where my wife works.

I just need to source a pair of rear springs now and replace them

I'm not sure about difference if any, between sport and sline, mine is sline on gen audi rims, tyres 235/40 18. Can be a bit harsh on the rough stuff but I don't mind.

 

[leegsi]

Looks about the same height.
