nfbr Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) cant drop it cause of the drive i have. Its up a ramp as the house is higher than the road, would really love to but cant...The amount of times i've heard excuses like this !!Mate just have some balls and drop it, Quit being so Emo about the whole driveway issue, and get it sorted!!I've driven mine up stupid gradients! And if its that much of a problem, Why not go up the driveway backwards! then you'll have miles of ground clearance style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited April 5, 2006 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) It'll only ground so many times begfoe before either the drive or the car will wear down to fit!Says me who whimped out of a -60 for a -45!S!

eXXXtreme arosa Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) lol do it! see this is why i run 17's, bigger gound clearance, then you drop it and it looks well tucked up but really its around standard height border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> decking it on 17's means ill get down my driveway, tyres are cheaper than 16's and it looks more pimping style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> thats my excuse anyway! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> plus not many arosa's on 17 so bit diffrent aint it hehe Edited April 3, 2006 by eXXXtreme arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emo_gazz Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Mate just have some balls and drop it, Quit crying and being so Emo about the whole driveway issue, and get it sorted!!Bit harsh dont you think. What have i done to deserve that, all ive said is i cant drop it cause of the drive way.Feel free all you with lowered cars to come to Doncaster and have a go on my drive. But the fact is i aint payin money for it to scrape the entire front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Gotta agree, that's a bit harsh!I want to drop mine too, but as it is getting to work, I have to mount the PAVEMENT to get past two large dips in the road.Have complained to the council about it, but heard nothing back - it's stupid though...So until those bits get fixed, my loop has to stay at standard height...Cheers,James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Have complained to the council about it, but heard nothing back - it's stupid though...Hit the bump and rip your bumper off, take pics and they'll soon get it sorted when you claim off them. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Gotta agree, that's a bit harsh!There are a few harsh comments on here - if you can't lower her then don't - you're the one who'll have to scrape her off the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub-love Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 cant drop it cause of the drive i have.

My old lupo was -60mm and it never scraped the front even in mutlistory car parks!Try it you know it makes sense!Oh and there is a set of used lowering suspension on ebay you could get for cheap! just search lupo!

nfbr Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Bit harsh dont you think. What have i done to deserve thatI'm joking dude!Get a pic of your drive and we'll assess the angles of the gradient and chose a suitable drop for you style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />I lost a part of my bumper lowered 30mm. but since runing it at 70mm, i've had no problems (which is strange) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noddy Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 40mm is better than nothing bud and should still get on by the looks of it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
