Shaka60 Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Just Joined, Hows it going, As I have just got my 1.4 Lupo a few months ago I'm now getting round to putting Alloys on it and lowering it. I am wondering what are the best alloys to use and the best springs. I was thinking 15 inch alloys but dont know what kind. How low can you go???

Alan VW Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 springs r fixed drop where coilovers u can adjusted the height of the drop ! - springs cost u about £100 coilovers cost u about £500(thats a good set) - like FK r H&R think one site is www.fkautomotive.de loads on that site, and i think they r top quatliy .... i had about `70-80` mm drop on the front was to low... was so bumpy irish roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 I disagree. I do like some things the europians do...(they did build the Lupo)....but I dont think we should copy them. I think we should mod our own way...the British way style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
