Lowering

[Aimez]

This is what I worry about my local Tescos has the biggest speed hump it is a complete joke looked and I have to drive over a cattle grid every time I leave my house. I am concerned on spending all that money and it not looking much different as I have seen some cars look.

 

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

I dont get scuffing at all on the undertray/speedbumps either. Only when I really lob it into a corner and hit a bump mid corner or something.

 

[Aimez]

Really hmmm maybe it will be okay. I roll slowly over the cattle grid every time anyway as it hurts my teeth and spine, unlike my dad in his merc just seems to glide over not fair!

mine currently:

lowest mk4??

 

[TonyK]

Good job you don't live in my village you'd get stuck outside at the first speed bump! haha .. That is VERY low though

 

[Aimez]

How the feck you get it that low I presume they are 18s?

18s!!!!! dont swear at me!

no, theyre 16's

 

[Aimez]

really just presumed they were big wheels with it that low as that's what most of the really low cars seem to have. What coilovers did you use then, not that I could have it that low I'd wreck the car!

i tryed 18s on mine didn't look good at all

16s on air is the way forward if only i could afford them

 

[RachIbiza]

yeh i'm sticking with my 16's i'm now geting them refurbed in matt black and then probably lowered 30mm - coilovers are a bit out of my price range as i wanna get it remapped at JKM and thats about £400!

 

[TonyK]

Yeah I remapped first .. mmm power .. then strut brace .. suspension .. exhaust .. and soon rear ARB with a little bit of saving .. wooo handling! The diesel engine does like making the car understeer

This is my car lowered around 80mm on the back and about 100mm on the front:

It has about 20mm left to go down on the front and a litttle bit at the back. I had to have drop links fitted so it didn't scrub though.

Selling the car now though
