Jowey Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 body drop ? raise the strut mounts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Easiest way would be to lower the spring platforms I think.You'd have to run properly low on the front to get a decent stance though I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've still got a good 2-3" if not more left on the front of the KWs Its chassis/driveshaft contact thats the problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 time for some chassis notching ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I had 3" left on my coilies too, but I dropped them all the way down and it didn't lower it 3". That could be because it was sitting on the driveshaft but surely that wouldn't explain the passenger side not dropping much too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sounded good in theory but its been a while since I looked at lupo coilovers, might get that crucial cm you need though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
