Back end still not any lower!

[brownyboy]

Lowered my ph2 172 myself just fitted springs all round. 35 drop on front and 30mm drop on rear. Front end looks fine

Rear - not so much!! Looks like a drag car lol

I know the springs take a while to settle in but i have driven about 500 miles in the last 2 weeks so i presume they have settled in but still looks so high!

What do you suggest i do? Buy 40mm or 50 mm lowering springs? - if i do this will i need replacement dampers? any suggestions would be appreciated

cheers

Dont really need pics as its pretty self explanitory back end does not sit at same height as the front

If it's a cup then they generally sit higher on springs at the back.

after that amount of miles the back end will have settled as much as it is going to. are the sills level with the ground? thats one of the most important factors with lowering. if they aren't level then you might have to consider getting the 55mm springs for the back.

 

[brownyboy]

Its not a cup model

And the sills do not sit level they raise up from the front slightly towards the rear

Where can i get hold of 50 mm springs for the rear as i dont want to buy a whole set

 

[Beef-Mc]

They don't make anything lower than 40mm for the RS.

You'll have to upgrade to coilovers if it's annoying you thsat much.

wat make brand are the springs

PI Springs - got them off ebay as they were cheap! The kit said 35mm drop but fronts are 35mm and rear springs 30mm lower.

I know there prob no good but they seem ok to me and im not going to waste £600 plus on coilovers as im only keeping the car for a year.

 

[kenny172]

apex are only 40mm springs for the RS

That's pretty silly, why do you need a pic? He's explained the problem, he's not asking for feedback on how his car looks.

 

[brownyboy]

Where can i get 40mm drop APEX springs just for the rear or would i have to try and find some 2nd hand???

 

[pinky]

The front are on 35mm and have a heavy engine on them thats why its lower.
just fill the boot with concrete

 

[brownyboy]

ummmmmmmmm good suggestion lol

rather u were in the boot lol
