Valver lowered too much at back

[Rodg16v]

Its lowered 60mm and its a bit too much, i get the odd scrape and my exhaust is rattling.

I had torsion bar done at a garage first time round, but dont fancy paying for it to be adjusted again.

could i do it myself ?

mines probably over 90 on the back well in comparison to someones lowered over 100 anyway.

yeah you could possibly do it yourself theres a guide knocking about somewhere.

Yeah easy to do.

Just use some WD-40 on the bar ends a couple of weeks before you do it and keep doing that and driving it for a while, they come out dead easy.

60mm too low!!!

al get a pic of mine up, was the lowest on the cliosport stand at trax or least it looked like it anyway. the exhaust snapped gettin it off the ramps because it was to low

why people lower the tits off of cars i will never know! the valver handles more than adequate on std height! lower doesnt always mean better! im gonna be going for uprated poundage springs on std height as against decking it which can also f**k up the handling if its not done right or even if its done right and its too low

 

[Rodg16v]

If i could stop the exhaust rattling id be happy enough, any ideas ?

 

[Rich1.2]

theres a guide on RSC mate, its easy to do especially seen as its been done once before!

yeh rich i think thats whats probably knackered my handling up, doesnt hold road well at all! looks smart though but very impractical.

 

[Friction]

but as you say rich, if its not done right.

A car lowered 100mm SHOULD outhandle the same car lowered 40, with the right set up. Look at freds mk2.

The problem is, you lower a mk1 on a standard torsion bar, youre asking for trouble
