robster Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Some one on here lowered theirs straight off - 35mm springs all round for about £100.However, on our Fox's it makes it look like a standard height car! Maybe consider going a little lower.Standard kit makers should do them!Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoxy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Springs make the Fox look lower, but not low.See here.You need coilovers. KW and H&R make them ... border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited May 14, 2007 by Swoxy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petes 16V Sport Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 needs smaller alloys to reduce the ground clearance I think. I like the black one though, I think that looks good style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 yes 15" maximium alloy size, those look bigger. or if not then 14" would suit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyJW Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm putting 14 inch deep dish on.And as for coilovers just got this advice and prices from G werks:-Weitec Hicon GT which lists lowering between 30-60mm (will go lower) - £475 inc VAT. Weitec are owned by KW who are a very big name when it comes to suspension and are top quality, they offer Weitec to compete in the lower priced market without compromising quality. KW Varient 1 which lists lowering between 35-70mm (will go lower) - £621 inc. VAT. KW Suspension as mentioned before are very well known and having originally stemmed from Motorsport the quality they offer is second to none. Unlike the Weitec's the Varient 1s are Stainless Steel so you do not have to worry about corrosion issues which ha been a problem for other aftermarket suspension manufacturers.
