How low!

[april]

I had my car lowered (2003 Dynamique) on Tuesday on 30mm PI springs, but it seems REALLY low at the front!

Anyone else found this?? If they are 30mm, there is no way you could go 60mm or it would actually be on the ground!!!

 

[Tom]

eh?

thats not 30mm then

 

[Essex_Lad]

u porberly got the 55mm ones instead!

 

[RobFenn]

ooh. Is it like a hot rod thing?

-Rob

 

[David]

No im with u there....i dont get it. Got 35mm Pis put on at R-tech and its proper proper low! In fact Having heard that FreedDynamique2001 has 110mm i couldnt get it as even a 60mm would definitely been scrappying the floor....it seems higher at back too...dunno. Will try and get some pics...

Yeah, same as!! The back is still pretty high, but seriously low at the front!

Torsion ordered 30mm for the front I think and 35mm for the back!

[Tom]

Pics? and your car too

 

[april]

Cheeky!!

I am at work, but will see if I have any joy getting pics tomorrow, if not then Saturday.

 

[Tom]

Ps 60mm looks like this

i know its not the same car as yours but the suspension is identical

 

[april]

I reckon they might be 60 then, but I didnt want it that low! Dont want the shocks knackered and scraping the curbs really! They are supposed to be 30mm springs tho!

 

[Tom]

if you want to compare we can meet up

is the ride terrible?

 

[april]

Not really! A little more bumpy maybe, but nicely, not harsh.

Where u at Tom, cant remember?

Do u have any probs with yours?

 

[Tom]

I work in billericay and live in north london

so im deffo in your area at some point.

My ride is incredibly stiff and uncomfortable make the passengers fly through the roof if i hit a coke can

 

[april]

U will have to ride in the car and see what you think! Im pretty sure its not that bad though, its bouncy!

I work and live in Chelmsford. Do u drive to work? Thats quite a drive if u do, in the rush hour! Just let me know when...do u work normal hours?

 

[Tom]

yeah normal work hours

chelmsford is about 15 min away from billericay isnt it?

 

[low 16v]

My cars a phase 1 lowered about 60 mil and it looks well low scrapes on some speed bumps but when i bought my new house i cant even get on the drive without taking out chunks of tarmac (Just thought id share that)

Yeah, its no more than 15 mins. I work shifts though, so thats a bit more awkward! Have to sort something out. Be good to get a second opinion on it. Im going to Donny too. U?

 

[Tom]

yup
