lowering

[night.icon]

ok thinking about getting my valver dropped by 50mm on 16" rims at the weekend

what r the pros & cons

Being too low and acting like a see-saw on silly high bumps is the main downside..

YEH I KNOW THAT BUT IS 50MM TO LOW

Well, the 16v is lower to start with.. Weight is lowered -35mm on his Valver, and he has to be careful - its close to scraping on flat ground with his exhaust!

i have had the front lowered supposedly 40mm but when i measured the front ad rear of the car the rear was only 25mm higher !

so if i have already got a 40 mm drop 50 mm wont be that bad ! i think

Depends on the Springs.. I know my -35mm Springs are no where near as low as PI -35mm springs..

Steve A has -40mm Avo Springs.. and they are about -55mm Springs.

it will be the BB 50mm springs

Dunno mate.. someone must have them on here tho!

Dont forget about the fact it changes your front wheel camber more the lower you go. The tyres on the RS are slick on the inside edge due to my ridiculous camber...
