Lowering the valver?

[Hayley]

I fancy lowering the valver, but for some reason can only find the majority of places selling springs, not shock & spring kits.

Anyone any recommendations on brands?
Not looking for a huge drop, just 40-60mmish.

Ktec stock -60mm Apex lowering springs and run fine with standard shocks.

I'd be better up uprate the shocks as well thou, wouldn't I?

Yes you would be better with shocks really!, so you will end up with 4 uprated shockers and 2 springs, he rear is torsion bar! That will need adjusting to match.

I knew about the bar at the back

Someone mentioned I could use standard williams suspension or something? :/

Quite possibly, to be honest, don't know a great deal about the early models, things you can swap etc!!

When i had my valver, i replaced the shockers with some bilstein aftermarket standard jobbies, improved it loads!

You could get new standard shock absorbers's, and some lowering springs at the front, just don't go to mad!! Depend's how much you have / want to spend!

The above won't fit a valver mate.

IMHO you cant go wrong with running lowering springs on standard shocks, just depends if your on a budget or not?

True!

Standard dampers will last about 6 months with 60mm springs until the ride is shagged and they bottom out everywhere and feel unstabl cornering. 130k standard dampers will lasy significantly less than 6 months!

leaf springs are the way forward tbh
