cool, mines lowered 40mm allround on coilovers, a deffinate improvement on handling.

looks good too. how much you lowerin it by?

 

[Tom B]

How low are you going?

 

[F2 Stu]

30mm

 

[Georgie]

just about right, low enough to make a difference but not too low that it becomes silly.

 

[F2 Stu]

yep, otherwise you'd get the driveshaft rubbing on the chassis

 

[nodrog]

well mines 40mm on 15/195/60, looks the part, handles like a dream, but doesnt like speedbumps.

although i need a lower trolly jack to lift the car...

 

[F2 Stu]

or drive it onto some blocks.....

 

[tris]

will wait and see what it looks like but may look at getting it some 17's as well

30mm

lol, and the rest if they're crap springs

I remember brendy's PI ones - the arse was dragging on the floor

 

[Tom B]

My driveshafts are fine and I'm down 60mm

I remember brendy's PI ones - the arse was dragging on the floor

remember my sachs? ?
some muppets had fitted the spring caps upside down,it made the car higher and braking gave instant sieways action

any pics from curborough 2002 (iirc) of my cordy, thatll show you exactly how low it was, the f2 bumper went on and the springs had to come off as it couldnt even get out of the sprayshop, (it wasnt even as if being that low made the car drive better round corners either) changed the springs for eibachs and was a totally different car to drive.

Just seen it and it looks good !

 

[F2 Stu]

They're Eibachs me old mucker

Dropped it quite nicely and you can still see the tops of the rear tyres with a set of rims in the back.

Shame Ive got to rip the rear apart again to replace the bumpstops

 

[m0rk]

lol, i told you to check them first!

 

[F2 Stu]

Was'nt in any postion to inspect them prior to fitting.

 

[tris]

Top job Stu (not that we had any doubt)

Barbs is well pleased

 

[F2 Stu]
