Car is far too low, LCR splitter is scrubbing on anything and everything.....

[Mo Arif]

How on earth do you lot drive your LC's with LCR splitters? even when my car wasn't lowered on standard set-up, it use to scrape things, now it's totally bonkers.

Should I remove the splitter or adjust the height of the coilovers ? Can't really cut the splitter any more then it already is

birmingham roads mo , probably best raising the front see if that helps

 

[Mo Arif]

Your right, Birmingham roads are pretty unforgiving, think I'm going to raise it

You are far to low mine hardly scrapes.
Also i have just gone back to 16's as the 17's are no good for these roads/heavy car.

mo i have a 3 1/2 inch gap from ground to splitter, or 64cm from ground to arch. i can manage speed bumps and last week i took on a multi story car park without a problem.

I think I need bigger tyres, I would love to go 18" but I love the Boc wheels

And I'm going to raise it.....

Overall i'm happy with the JOM coilovers...... not too firm....not too bouncy a bit of roll, need a ARB to sort that out.

Mines a touch higher on 205/55/16's now due to the profile of the tyre, compared to the 205/40/17's

Get 18's and lower 50mm

yes it is mate, took that pic on sunday
the coilovers have settled now and i love the stance

 

[SalSheikh]

mine sits low at the back and high at the front but still manage to scrape the splitter on some ramps/drives. very tempted to get some coilies

The roads in brum are totally f**ked, I'm constantly swerving potholes and scraping the splitter off speed bumps

Mine was worse on standard suspension than it is now on lowered firmer suspension

Totally agree with that. The car would bounce more all over the road with standard springs. Mine were probably shot but it was definitely worse.

Touch higher is correct, at just under 3mm, does it really make that much of a difference?

this is the lowest ive found out i can go, live on a new build estate, speed humps galore just manage to get over and on 18's also, still low though, cant seem to get up a curb etc

Yes 3mm
It's the way the car drives too.

Right these are going to sound like dumb questions but I need to ask them

1. If i put bigger profile tyres on, will it 'raise' the hight ?

2. How do I adjust the front coilovers.... I really need to do this asap, It's rubbing pretty bad now
