lowered "60mm" but still looks same height at back?

[Brummy]

sling a couple of slab s in the boot for a few days, itll soon settle 'em

standard setup on mine of tyre to outer wing lip is : Front 55mm rear 45mm.
if you have a 60mm drop then you should -10mm on front & -15mm on rear? ie both tyres should be in the arches

what size are your wheels and tyres?

[old 'uns]

standard 8v 185/55 15's
add 15mm to the figures i said if a 60 drop = 45 , so front should be about level with lip?

 

[vngtx]

there was quite a gap at the front to begin with. ive got same size wheels and tyres, and theres about 2-3 cm gap now. it could vary with the condition of the shockers. ill try and find a pic of before.

Phil are you selling my old parts off? As someone already mentioned the GTi springs are the same as any other spring for the Ibiza range!

I'm guessing you shocks are not far off fully compressed with these Spax springs because I went to fit them to Koni Sports Shocks and they were too long to compress the coil when reassembling the front shocks. That's why I gave up on them and sold them on!

Could just be that they need to settle down, up front you have the weight of the engine pushing down but at the rear there isn't any weight to settle them quicker. Throw you sub back in for a few days and go for a couple of drives!

 

[andycupra]

looks ok to me in the first post. you dont want to go too low at the rear in any case.
Although some pics when its not half parked on a curb would be useful.

What gauges are you going to be running?

 

[ather`s]

a volt meter and oil preasure are the gauges ive got. weather they get wired up is another matter. craig, when you got your strut brace did you have to modified any of the bolts on top of the struts. ive managed to get hold of a brace for a 16v but got to do abit of grinding.

From memory I dont think so. I will have a look tomorrow at some point for you. Im sure I just had to move the coolant tank ever so slightly to get it to sit in place.
