swaggerdon Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hey @All. This is my first post on here! I need some advice: I need my rear to come down 1-3cm more. Adjuster rings are out, Cup is left there. It's an FK AK Street Any ideas? Took the cup out and seemed wonky and spring wasn't held by the plate underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Willkommen! You'll need to change the springs. There is no other way. Check out http://www.shock-factory.co.uk/2.25-springs.html Do you also visit https://lupoclub.de/forum/ Any pics of your car?

German TÜV would fail that without an engineer's report... In fact most of the 'alterations' we do over here need paperwork in Germany. @swaggerdon , how much work is it (papers) to change your brake system to a bigger one like G60's?

swaggerdon Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yea, they would send me to court if i did that kinda thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 @swaggerdon , I can call the spring factory I listed above and ask them for you...? I'm also asking about having some new springs made for the back of my SDI. i can't get them here in the UK with normal/soft rating. Uprated or lowering is easy here. Then I can ask them if they could make the same springs shorter, but with slightly higher rating - and it would be ok on your TUV. They could supply the certificate.
