Pic request: Mk1s lowered -60mm
- Thread starter slowan
- Start date
^^^ not necessarily ali, depends if it's valver/williams or a 1.2/1.4. Either way you should be OK with 45 profile tyres as long as it's not a williams as I think they tend to stuggle if too low with the wider track they have. Valvers would have loads of clearance and it's usually the case on 1.2/1.4's that you should be OK at 60mm witht the 45 profile tyres.
On 1.2/1.4 I think 60mm looks spot on.

It just looks soo much better, the stance of the car is great. loving the pics. 
Oh, here's rich's old vavler which I bought from him (off here). Thanks again Rich if you are still on here!
I think this is roughly 60mm on coilovers. (Hope he don't mind me using his picture). Again, looks really good that low.

can any of you guys with a 1.2/1.4 lowered 55/60mm at the front post some close ups of your front wheels so that I can see what sort of gap there is between the arch and the wheel?
I had always presummed I had been sold the wrong springs as I bought them off someone on here saying they were 55mm but I thought it had only been lowered about 35mm as theres still a bit of a gap, but looking at some of those pics it looks about the same as mine.

Really??
Here's a 30mm drop on the rear torsion bar and 25/30mm lowering springs on the front with 15's fitted. Looks fairly low to me...and comparable to your blue car.
thats a valver though mate, which is lower than a 1.2/1.4 as standard.
Rob 887 - cheers. Looks as though mine is 55mm at the front then. IMO you need to go lower than 55mm at the fron for the best look after realising that. I've been meaning to lower mine by more for ages thinking it was only 35mm.

30? Are you sure?! At least 60 imo
yeah, it will only be that much. AS I said above valvers are lower by about 30mm (about that iirc) as standard anyway so when you lower it 30mm it's the equivalent of about 60mm on a 1.4/1.2. Though I would agree the back looks to be a bit more than 30mm
Had that exact same problem buddy, bought a -55mm kit thought i had been done over wen it was on the car, was gonna send the boys round his house and everything haha.
Having seen a few RTs on here i don't think 55mm is low enough at the front needs to be more like 70!
clio rsi!
how low is mine then guys?!? it was done just before i bought it, i was under the impression it was one click on the torsion bar and 30mm at the front.......but looking at others tbh i havent got a clue without actually measuring it myself!! i know its black and not the easiest of colours to see but there we go........
