Im after some help..

im looking to lower the car now after having looked at it with the new wheels on long enough and agreeing with most of you that it does in fact need it!!

how low can it go without any scrubbing and affecting the handling adversley??

hi, i dropping mine to 35mm on pi springs and you dont have change the standard shocks, there's a fair few springs suppliers out there as some of the LOC will tell you but prices start from £100 upwards just for the springs. lower than 40mm you gotta change your shocks to shorter ones.

have a look here this will give you an idea :winky:

What size wheels are they?

Agreed it does need to be lowered.

I got Spax -35mm springs fitted...i cant remember how much it was but i was happy with the price.

Just to finish it off i am visiting the Doc soon to complete the geo set up.

they are 18"...

they look smaller because of the 1 1/2" deep dish!! was going to go for 19" but didnt want to affect the ride quality,handling or performance... oh abnd they would have been bloody expensive!!

i want it so that there isnt much gap between the tyre and the arch..

would have to be coilovers then.

Nice rims there fella :)

Yeah sounds like you'll be wanting some coilovers there, then you can set it however you want it :)

About 50mm is as low as you can drop and still recover the geometry to something sensible

I dropped mine 30mm and its a sweet drop without losing comfort!

Probelm is now my shocks are screwed so I need a new set!

Go for Eibach!
