what would u guys say was the best lowering mm on 17's

and also on 16's

thinking practicle 4 speed bumps etc...
 
Filthy cup on prolines. Erm... Probs higher at the back but about 20mm lower at the front!

But as the saying goes. Sports for show Pros for go!!!

just bought eibach pro kit springs which lower 30mm and put them on my 172 cup and it does not look any different, do i need to wear them in or are they rubbish springs?

Will be making an appearence soon, sitting much lower
 
They'll be firmer, but no lower on a cup.[/quote]??

This is a set of Prolines on my 182 FF with cup packs. They are lower than on the Cup springs, just more subtle than Sportlines, all a matter of taste really. Good ride, better handling, admittedly not much lower but that's not why I changed, recommended for a good compromise.

Strom that mk3 is not lowered by 75mm thats touching on 60/65mm max

It may look higher then it is due to the front tires been lower profile compared to the standard profile. Thats all the tire shop had in stock, wasn;t to bothered as these are only my winter wheels
 
having lowered suspension is fine if all you plan to do is drive on smooth tarmac, but with the amount of speed humps etc around its not exactly practical. I had a Cinquecento abarth that had been lowered and it was a nightmare on back roads or anything bumpy. it kept bottoming out. Fine on fast A roads and motorways. I'd think twice about lowering again if you want a car thats going to be practical and not just for track and show use.
 
I've changed the stock springs with Weitecs (35mm lower - this is official spec)...the picture shows the difference.

Now I want to lower a bit the rear and maybe someone tell me where I can find height adjusters to compress a litlle bit the rear springs.

roll centres?
bump steer?
bump stops?
or just show and no go?

the eibach pro-kits are designed to optimise handling with std rod ends and without moving pick up points. lowering more on macpherson strut front end worsens handling. i'd love to see one of those 100mm drop car's try and keep up with a std twingo on a twisty bumpy b road...
 
any one have problems with man holes/british b-roads and the tyre receding up into the arch and rubbing?? its not the arch it rubs its the front part of the chassis where the bumper meets the wing i think :S.

i have KTR /GAZ coilovers and i think i am just seting them up wrongly?!?

Would love any help/advise. only happens when there are large bumps and am turning left or on the section of M20 just before junction 8 where there is the worlds most god awful dip/bump!!
