DCRCTX Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Just FYI Springs are back in stock at Modyourconnect https://www.modyourconnect.co.uk/product/myc-connect-mk2-fr-lowering-springs/ Springs and shipped to USA runs about $300 bucks, but it's fedex priority international so you'll have them in 1-2 days.

Project bike truck Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Hey just putting this out there. Eibach orderd 5 sets of the springs they used on the M-Sports in europe.

Project bike truck Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just wanted to follow up. I never heard back from the guys at Eibach. reached out with many emails and contacted people I know that know him. ZERO customer service. I reached out to Eibach in Germany and they never responded too. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up, I know mine was. I'm super let down and pissed. That being said I ordered a set from MYC.

mrtn Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I was planning on ordering lowering springs from Eibach for my other car. Screw them. Plenty of other suppliers available. Project bike truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project bike truck Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Well I did the driveway install this weekend. It was my father’s day present to get some time to install the springs. What a pain to take the cowel apart and take the wipers out. Poweder coat or what ever they used on the springs was not evenly coated. But all in all seams okay. Rides a bit stiffer and seams to handle good. And the springs got here in 3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty150 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Looking nice. Refreshing to see a Transit Connect that is not a commercial vehicle. Around here, Transit Connects are all over the road; and almost every one of them is in commercial use. You haven't had any problems with the lowered ground clearance? No scraping on driveways, bottoming out on hills, or scraping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No scraping on driveways, bottoming out on hills, or scraping? that's a negative. seems to be a non-issue. but that being said I have lowered just about every vehicle I owned for the last 25 years. it rides a little stiffer, that's expected and okay with me.

Fifty150 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 My fingers are crossed. Sooner or later, somebody will add airbags and/or hydraulics to their van. And those wire spoke wheels. I can't wait to see the Low Rider Magazine Transit Connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you add spacers, they will protrude for sure out past the fender edges. Also your wheel offset makes a difference in this as well. If you get the correct size wheels (bolt pattern and offset) then no you don't need any spacers or adapters. I'm not saying it can't be done if you prefer that look, simply that it's something to note for those wondering. The drop is spot on there. jrm223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5pitfire Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) @Project bike truck Those Focus ST wheels look great on the TC. I may try to look for a used set on eBay rather than go aftermarket. MYC has the perfect drop. Eibach only drops 1" in the rear. Those who lowered with MYC MK2 springs, did you also install the GAZ MK2 shock absorbers that they recommend? Don't want to buy what I don't need, as I dont haul much besides a light road bike or a couple of people Quote It is strongly recommended that if purchasing this kit the GAZ Transit Connect MK2 Adjustable Rear Shock Absorbers are fitted as a matter of course to work in conjunction together."

Don't want to buy what I don't need, as I dont haul much besides a light road bike or a couple of people I never got rear shocks and I know I need to. I was going to try and figure out a shock length for a KYB or something rather than the adjustable ones. But it definitely needs shorter shocks. They bottom out without it.

s5pitfire Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Greetings all! I finally got around to having a local performance shop install the GAZ ultimate coilovers and do the alignment on my TC. It's about time - I've had them sitting in the box for 2 years. The rear dropped 4 inches out of the box as you see below. The front didn't drop as much out of the box as I wanted, so they were adjusted to be 0.5" lower as you see below. Dampers are set to medium stiffness and there is no fender rubbing or ramp scraping. It's definitely stiffer than the oem suspension by about 50%. I enjoy how flat it can corner and how I can feel the rear really hugging the road. Wheels are 18x8 ET45 Edited June 29, 2022 by s5pitfire Better pics pt.2 Don Ridley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
