Nop!!!!

60mm is a minimum as Fred wud say!!!

 

[Roamer]

Nope, itll be fine as long as youve got the offset on the wheels correct matey (Hell if Fred were about hed be tellin ya that its the minimum you should be dropping it LoL)

 

[Has]

LOL beat u to it John

 

[Cheeky_B]

Was getting worried there for a mo, the wheels are wolfrace urban 7, 205/40/17 profiles , getting the carzone front bumper also on sunday, so its gonna be a low car

Hey, Im not complaining!!!!!

 

[Roamer]

As long as the offset of the wheels is about ET37 youll be laughin mate, no probs.

 

[Has]

snds good, get pics up when ur finished wiht it

 

[Cheeky_B]

Its all been colour coded so should look nice, getting sideskirts next month, this months wages are now

The car is silver. Should catch a few eyes , after all that the windows are next, Oh nearlt forgot the KTEC Grille

Will the lowering springs (like 30mm one) wear out the standard dampers quicker??? Or will it bad for the standard suspension??

 

[Roamer]

the standard damper life will be shortening, but they still last a good long time, fred had 60mms on his for a fair while before he got his coilovers and never a problem.

Yep but how much it will reduce the life is questionable.

Its like putting a load of stuff in the boot of your car so that your cars lowered. Think how long your shocks are designed to survive when the cars loaded with the amount of stuff to lower it 30mm. 30mm isnt very much at all.

You have to fix the Cv joints dont you every few months though

Is it realy 100mm down as Ive been thinking 100mm drop in mine would make it 3cm from the ground and probably ground my car out all the time. I know you have bigger tyres but how much bigger than standard are they?

 

[Fred@BTM]

havent touched anything apart from the wheel bearings!! (thats after 52408miles!!!!!)

rear is at 110mm (true 100% all of the time i have several witnesses)

front is currently 90mm (i wind it down for show season!!! raised it up slightly, cos i cracked both front wings last year!!!)

remember 17s are larger than 15s which in turn raises the car slightly

If i turn the wheels to full lock the tyre touches the front wing

i wish i was as low as fred
