How low for what?

[Munky]

[MR Ibiza Cupra]

this low with 15mm spacers on rear

So how low have you taken this then ?? thats about 60mm right !!

 

[carlisle pete]

thats mine id say its lower than 60ml you cant even see my splitter in the grass! haha but iv had my arches took out! still court a little bit round silverstone but i can live with that

 

[C3 LJG]

Mines probably lowered around 70mm on standard arches, manged to rip my splitter off and dent the sump on sunday on the way to TRAX tho!

 

[carlisle pete]

Yeah I played that game with my Polo..

But this definately isn't the country to be doing it! The roads seem ok but you learn how frequant pot holes and bumps are very quicklu. You have to adjust your driving style to physically looking at the road infront of you rather than whats going on around you, it's pretty dangerous the stuff.

I got caught out in roadworks, nothing I could have done, cleared out my lower arms, driveshafts, locked up my diff which was a bitch to sort out! Almost took my thumb off in the process. £1,000 left of repairs and just left me with a bent car

This is how THAT story ended:

I learnt the hard way... Looks aren't everything just be sensible!

 

[roundy]

Just finished lowering mine, looks cool (may bring the back up a little more tonight)......has anyone had trouble when on full right lock with the drivers side wheel rubbing? As far as I can see there is a piece of the wheel are liner that sticks out a bit on the inside.....

Pics to follow...

 

[beezaturbo]

its the same on the passenger side too. noticed mine on the passenger side on sunday night when i took my d90's off. and i heard the drivers side on full lock catching slightly.

 

[exsaxoboy!]

im about 80 front, 50ish rear, im going to lower the back more when iv took the arch liners out, and mackined my spacers down to 10 mm. But there again im having dirty thoughts of some 16*8 image split rims................................................Even lower.

[jenk]

i thought mine was catching the arch on full lock right and fast right turns but it turns out its a balancing weight on the driveshaft catching

 

[roundy]

Had my alignment and camber set now - handles like a different car! I may think about bringing the front up about 10mm.....will this affect the camber that much that I have to have it set again?

Cheers...

 

[m0rk]

[dj_bigfella]

Front - 70mm



Rear - 50mm




rubs a little on rear but gonna get that sorted soon!
