Lowering On 18" Aero Alloys

[Enda IRL]

Hi there everyone,

As you can see from the picture, i think it would look a little better lowered has anyone lowered their sport on the standard 18's? ...by how much and on what springs?

I've read tru all the different post and gather i need to take into consideration the 15mm lower the sports already are!

thanks everyone

Yeah you can lower with no problems - many go for the TTE 30mm springs, which will mean a 15mm drop for your sport. You can go lower on coilovers, ormi has massive drop - have a search for pics of his car.

Ormi, dude, that looks sweet! ..but I cant plan trips so no way could i go that low! lol Was looking at some older pictures of ur car when you were running 40mm springs, think I could get away with them ok, as its only really gona drop the car 25mm more!

What type of 40mm springs had you in,and were they any good, much difference with comfort?

they were off eBay they only cost me £90 not much diff to be honest car stay'd flatter through corners and was slightly and i mean slightly stiffer..

if you look on eBay they are the cheapest ones their....

i have a 99 which means mine is higher standard than say a 2001..

igino.....dont have a clue but if you look through the posts some where its on a post....

Hi  there i am putting 18s on my is200 how much have u drop it and how does it fill

[scudney]

Lol 😁 you don't have to drop it if you don't want to really - 30mm would probably be the best 😊
