Lowered 60mm?

[MikeB]

Hello i bought my car a while back and it had already been lowered,he said it was 60mm but im looking for a new set of shocks and springs but does this look 60mm been doing some searches and 60mm looks higher? i think im wrong though

cheers

Looks -60mm to me, maybe a tad lower!

 

[MikeB]

yeah, i wanted to change to springs as the ride is shite but i like the height

 

[Beef-Mc]

Either way spacers are a must.

 

[MikeB]

yeah might get some spacers, thinking of some 172 wheels first though

Looks a tad lower than 60mm to me. Looks good though.

Mines -60 Mike and it does look a bit higher than yours tbh, I think the 15's make it look a bit lower too though.

Can come round and compare some time if necessary

Is there a chance people have messed with the setup when fitting the springs so its sitting lower than it should and giving you crap ride? My ride isn't great, but definately not crap.

well if u decide to sell it then ill be interested... pm me

 

[Rob]

Quite an odd way to offer to buy a car! Before the lad's even driven it by himself! lol!

 

[Struggler]

it does indeed look lower than 60,

but different springs come in different heights.

think the eibatch 60mm springs come quite low iirc.

 

[MikeB]

had another look still on standard shocks could be the problem..?

 

[Alan]

Chopped springs?

 

[Rob]

I'm on standard shocks, and sits nothing like that, unless your shocks are totally shagged because its been rally'd over speed bumps whilst lowered?

Cut springs? Possibly? You checked them mike? What colour are they? I've got 60mm apex and they are bright yellow....

 

[The Boosh!]

60mm

no springs are in good condition had it on a ramp at work to check, might invest in some new shocks and springs but try and keep the height.
