[GarethM]

dude go 60mm or 55mm at the least 35mm isnt low enough

 

[Mole]

35-40mm drop on mine

This one gives you an idea on clearance on the front arch

 

[patty]

agreed!!!!!

 

[Daz]

35mm.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

i dont know, mine looks sweet on 35 (front), and a 45 drop on torsion bar (rear), get some PI springs they match the standards size wise but compress more under the weight of the car, so they dont pop out of the clamps, ill get a pic this weekend, its dirty as h*ll tho, so might wash it, if i can be bothered, living on a farm not good!! lol

 

[mattrt]

im quite happy with what 35 looks like tbh. and patty, yes!!!!!!

 

[patty]

pm returned mate... be good for you to come have a look at mine at the xmas meet if ur feeling better... give u an idea of what 40mm really looks like!!

 

[mattrt]

ok if im well i will

 

[arj256]

35/40mm:

55/50mm:

 

[mattrt]

that last one looks mint, but i think il still go 35, ive heard insurers like that more.... im gettin it insured like a sensible person....

 

[Rip3z]

Depends what roads he's driving on though.

I take mine on lots of bumpy lanes and also go off road a fair bit so lowering wouldn't be for me.

Don'y go too low if you drive a lot of lanes mate.

 

[JAMESSRICH]

talking of 35mm drops i have some 35mm drop apex's for a valver so am not sure if the fit the small engine clio's etc

and yes my motor is dropped on 60's - but want lower coilovers or a special set-up!!!!

 

[Tucks]

Thas 35 on the back and standard on the front.

 

[arj256]

Don'y go too low if you drive a lot of lanes mate.

I always used to be out on country lanes and didnt have a problem. but that was why i never put a front rubber splitter on it to keep the clearance.

 

[patty]

def 60mm... at the end of the day the insurer is going to charge u extra anyway whatever set up you choose... best up your insurer and ask for two quotes with 40mm and 60mm and see what they say!

jus remember valvers are lower as standard so 40mm on a valver is bout 60 on a non-16v

 

[Dan_mk1]

16s:

15s:

Valver tho, so its about 70mm *i think*

 

[Rip3z]

I always used to be out on country lanes and didnt have a problem. but that was why i never put a front rubber splitter on it to keep the clearance.

Depends on the condition of the road I guess.

But def wouldn't lower mine due to going off-road.

 

[mattrt]

right ok, so if i went 55, would it rub, and would i be able to g et full lock on, and would i definately need shortened shocks?

 

[patty]

it would b better to get shortened shocks yes... the rear is a torsion bar anyways

55mm wont rub on 15's unless ur offset isnt standard

 

[JAMESSRICH]

like mine!!!!!

 

[mattrt]

cool, so, i need springs, which ones you guys reccomend, k-tech, pi ?

 

[patty]

id say get coilovers but thats 350 quid!

do u want springs and dampners?

wats ur budget?

 

[mattrt]

as little as poss really.... may be better to get dampers aswell, springs dampoers and shocks just to redo the whole lot
