Aztepol Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hello....Today picked up a 2004 arosa on 36k in metallic grey as my sons first car. The front seems very high so my first question is what height should it be on the standard wheels? Ive seen lots of ads for lowering spring set ups but dont want it scraping the floor just a little less high. Would 40mm drop using new springs and original shocks still accomodate a 15 inch alloy and does anyone have this set up? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Take a pic from the side and post it here. "E" spec cars are slightly higher than "S" (but it might be the tyres!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausage Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Same struts both sides or does it have an odd strut on the front? (have a peek under the arches) Defo looks odd. Edited April 6, 2017 by Sausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztepol Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 How can it look odd you can only see one side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztepol Posted April 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Popped some 15 inch rh cup wheels on for size. Now its off for a 40mm drop to give it a bit of purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoddlewaddle Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 It's like an Arosa buggy. Also, why do E spec cars sit higher than S? Weight of engine? Everywhere lists the same shocks and springs for both, aftermarket at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
