mk2 1.2 40mm Lowered pics please...

[MDP91]

Hey peeps,

Im looking into getting my 1.2 lowered by 40mm possibly, got any pics so I could see what it may turn out like?

Cheers

go -60mm or dont bother at all...

thats my old diesel shed on apex -60mm

 

[MDP91]

im liking that

 

[danjf]

def go 60 mate, you wont notice much difference with just 40mm, mines 60mm on pi springs and standard shocks

 

[MDP91]

Ok, just my dad's a rozzer and I know he'll get funny with me if I slam it on its arse, haha, so thats why I twas thinking 40mm

 

[Bux]

Mine on 35/40mm

Im happy with mine on 40, got uprated shocks too and it drives so much nicer than standard. Also dont have to worry so much about speed bumps as its not too low.

i cant wait to get my 60's

Is that a vinyl on the spoiler?

 

[SlowLow&Sideways]

Nah painted. Gone now tho. colour coded

 

[AhmedRSi]

I want a black roof now lol.

Double spoiler ftw btw

 

[matt|H]

Possibly 40mm but I'm pretty sure they are 35mm. I would go for 60 if you can - doesn't look slammed but doesn't look like a waste of money and time either lol.

 

[AhmedRSi]

Whats the best 60mm kit to buy?

 

[JCC]

Go at least 60mm. Anything less still looks standard. My old 1.2 was down around 80mm on V-Maxx coilies and could still handle the biggest speedbumps and multistorey carparks with no scraping.

 

[leeds_182]

60mm does not look excessive.

40mm still looks too high.

Standard

Lowered by 40mm Apex

Sorry i dont have a decent side on lowered pic, best i have is:

 

[MADM4TT]

This standard.

And this is with 40mm Drop.

Dont get me wrong 40mm is not to high but got to be said 60mm would make a massive difference on appearence but depends on how you like your ride over bumps/pot-holes.

 

[MDP91]

Ok, thanks for the help guys, im swaying towards 60mm, but my Dad's less likely to notice 40mm haha

 

[Jordi17]

mine is lowered on 40mm apex springs, can get some pics up if you want to see 40

 

[MDP91]

Yes please Is it an easy fit, also wheres the best/cheapest place to get hold of some springs?

 

[Jordi17]

heres my lil beasty, as said on 40mm springs

You hit the nail on the head yourself, 40mm will look standard, and plus, lowering isn't illegal, so your dad has no right to say anything really, he may frown upon it, but you're your own person so go 60, you wont regret it:approve:

Its not illegal, but it voids your insurance as I dont have the money to get it covered, thats the problem he has.

 

[Alastair.]

looks shat anything over than 60mm

 

[kaimcg]

40's fine on mine and rides rough as f**k. ive got eibach sportlines

If you can't cover it, don't do it.




(or just don't crash)
