Fingers crossed in a couple of month my 172 will be withdrawn from daily use so I can concentrate on turning it into something a little special. Its currently running Bilstein coilovers and was wondering what the minimum ride high which is possible without removing the arch liners etc. Its also worth mentioning the car won't be used in a manor where speed humps are a issue anymore.

GEt some harder springs made up and you can run even lower. BUt just remove the liners and understeal everwhere.

Don't forget it only starts catching on extreme strearing angles so easy option is not to use full lock.

Thanks Edde, I really do want to keep the liners and things in place, so I don't think I'd fancy going down that route

 

[Peperami]

Mines pretty low, and it catches a little on full lock, but worth living with. I still have the liners in.

At the rear remove both collars of the height adjusters. Be able to run it lower on 15's too, is it going to be a track car?

Excuse the filthiness :clown: try get a better pic if you like mate, lol

 

[S77CCP]

is it going to be a track car?

:race: Yep.

I've got Wilwood on the front so I'm not sure the 15' would fit.

Should do easily.

Well worth using 15's on a track car particularly.

Another item for the shopping list then.

Tyres will be so much cheaper on 15's too. Im going through paradas at the moment, but at £40 a corner i cant complain...

 

[S77CCP]

Blimey! Half the rubber bill then?

 

[Peperami]

Yup, they last loads longer than normal road tyres too.
