[Clarkie172]

50

 

[_Tom]

AJRMOTORSPORT - Nah this is a genuine post mate. Not trying to show the car! lol

Winston - whats yours lowered by? Low aint it? Want to try and get mine as low as i can without coilovers. Youll have to send me a pic with the 16s on for inspiration!

50mil are the lowest springs you can buy for valvers aint they?

 

[Clarkie172]

im sure they are iirc. im sure i only had 50mm on. done the back about 80 tho

 

[Chad]

I wouldnt lower it any more personally, looks spot on. If it dont rub alrwady I reckon it would if you drop it any more.

 

[Dean]

deck it!

get some coilovers on the front and put the back on the stops

 

[clio__chris]

out of interest are those tyres 195s or 205s?

 

[Rich_16v]

Look like 195 tyres to me as i have 205s on mine and they look stockier like / \

 

[Rich_16v]

Tom mines on 40mm springs at the front and the back can be anything you like

A totally side on pic would help, what suspension you on springs and shocks or coilovers?

Yellow springs are Apex i think which only come in 40mm or 50mm if thats any help

LOL, you get away with it either way, coz it f**king smart!

 

[_Tom]

Chris - Theyre 195s on there.

Rich, its lowered on boge shock and springs. Looking at yours id say its about the same so probs 40mil. You not tempted to take yours any lower? I may try 50s and see what the handling/ride is like. Ill get a side on pic at lunch to compare it with yours.

Dean - how did i know youd say that! Did u use coilovers on your old beast? If so, what?

 

[Rich_16v]

I think dean had custom compressed springs on the front to make them 60mm then basically on the stops at the back

Tempted to do mine 50mm front but i need a narrower bodied decat at it scrapes everywhere

 

[Ali]

^^^ easy now

 

[GeeUK]

Get as low as you can is not everything in my book. For looks maybe yes, but for handling, Im sure there is an ideal rideheight.

i bought an apex 60mm spring and damper kit, only cost me about 200 new lol

cheap then i just had the front springs heated and compressed at a machine company!

god i love valvers there ace but just dont think i could have one again.
