you seen how low mine is with phase 2 rims, i think its 2 clicks on the rear bar and its all good! renatec sorted it out

 

[peter182]

ivegota16v where to did you have it done also how low on the front

 

[ivegota16v]

got it done at renatec in bristol, soooo good again! get all my work done there, im not sure how low it is at the front as the spring where already there when i bought the car (torsion bar was left for some reason!) they say its about 40/50 i think but im not to sure

 

[mark16v]

mine is 50mm , and i now have had to go back to a standard zorst and it scraps on the floor when i go in car parks, normall driving is ok . So i will have to get a new back box now as i cant have that

 

[Dean]

just slam it mate, 60mm/80mm so its level slammed

worry about the problems when you come to them

 

[peter182]

Cheers Dean but i aint that mad like you goin to drop the bk 2 clicks and then the front 40mm do you reckon that will be ok

 

[Clio16vPaul]

if you put it so its level your handling goes out the window... you want the ass higher than the front. try it and see...

 

[Lunner]

I take it the car is already set so that the front is lower then the back then?

So if you were to get 35mm lowering springs and then get the rear lowered by same amount the handling would improve, not get worse?

 

[MAXIBOY]

yes but trying to get 35mm on the backs difficult because the splines drop 25mm increements

 

[Dafydd]

as low as mine pete mate, i told you i have no probs with a full car chief.daf

 

[Dean]

if you want mint handling the rear end needs to be around 10 to 15mm higher

but it looks pants

 

[peter182]

cheers guys im just gonna slam it
