pic request: suspension drops on 17's

[Jungle_Jim]

hi guys, can you lot post up pics of your cars (preferably a mk2 ph2 non sport) lowered (even better on 17's) just so i know what drop to go for. I am thinking about a 50mm drop, will this be ok with 17's with out rubbing etc

cheers
James

bak in the day! - My chav days!

lol! To be fair...I still like it! Granted i was only 17/18 but i think it looks ok! better than alot of sheds these days!

With std lights and RS style skirts, it would be mint!

 

[Jungle_Jim]

cheers buddy, how much of a drop its that, 60mm ?

 

[N!CK R]

Yea, apart from the lights i think thats quite nice Ali.

cheers buddy, how much of a drop its that, 60mm ?

nope. I've got a pic at 60mm Pi springs if thats of any use?

 

[Jungle_Jim]

awesome that would be great mate

 

[Matt-16v]

iam in the same position mate. mines lowered 30mm but imo thats not enough.

Cat D bucket

nice lights though

 

[Jungle_Jim]

yeah i think it needs a fair drop as it looks like a 4x4 with 17's on standard springs, just dont want to go so low it rubs or speed bumps start becoming an issue

 

[Matt-16v]

thats 30mm if thats any use. i will be going lower next month on a different set up. too high imo

nice wheels btw

edit: i often have 4 people in my car and i live down a bumpy road and it never rubs. 60mm will rub though without doing work on the arches i would have thought

 

[Jungle_Jim]

nice one mate, 50mm should look about right then.

did you buy spigot rings for your wheels. ive just got some but havent fitted them yet, i need to refurb my wheels

Shut it Mcfly, was only CatD after i crashed it...

 

[Matt-16v]

[Jungle_Jim]

cheers Ali, that looks wicked was the ride really hard with a 60mm drop
