  • Brabus lowering springs (forfour)

    An excellent mod for a forfour I must say, improves handling and ride quality no end!


    Rear springs...


    New springs (above)... compared to...

    old springs...


    The car now sits lower down... and the ride is stiffer, corners well and if you get it right, you can get that nice feeling of it "biting" into the corner...

    Not bad for £26 for the springs, and £80 fitting from Smartarse!

      Do you have to inform your insurance company about suspension modifications?

        Technically you should, as it is a modification.

          Now this is the tricky part... as they are original smart parts... they could have come on the car from standard... so... it's up to you really...

                They've not been fitted yet, i'm getting them done on sat.

                I'll post up some before and after pictures with measurements etc on monday.

                I'm going to skegness after they're fitted so i'll give them a good test!

                  I think they're ace... but my wife dislikes them... she thinks it's too bumpy now... but it makes the gearchanges and steering so much more responsive. I dont think I'm gonna headbutt the horn every time it changes gear now anyway.

                      Hi all

                      Have you changed the springs, ONLY?

                      ¿are the springs the same as this ones from eibach?



                      Cheers!

                        The Brabus spring aren't the same as the Eibach ones. The Eibach are fitted to Gav's (Smart Rhino) forfour and it is lower than a Brabus.

                        Mine has the PI kit which is a little lower again!

                          How low can you go? I think this wins
