60mm vs 35mm Handling

[Levo]

Am I right in thinking that the lower the better? (springs only, original dampers). I aint too arsed about ride quality, just wanna stop feeling like Im driving a jelly.

Yeah 60mm will fell better round corners than 35mm !! will be ok over speed bumps aswell !!

mines lowered 80mm and its a stack better, though i am on coilovers

Id only go -35mm with the original shocks, otherwise youll get a worse handling car if you go as low as -60mm.

Ive got -50mm springs with Koni adjustables on my valver. Handles awesomely now.....

on a dynamiques you can go 60mm on standard shox no probs !! Fred will back me up on this !!

thats because there brand new shocks, an thats the only reason really......they will start to f**k up given a few months........

Std shocks fine (mine were still going strong after 12months)

Got it sorted with some bolts from K-Tec though
