Plug Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I want it as low as possible without scrubbing..You wont be low enough without coliy's, and even if you got coliy's you wont be low enough style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupodave Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 With 195/50/15s scrubbing might be an issue when you go low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How low whould I go? 40mm or 60mm?I've got 15" alloys with 195/50 tyres border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> Edited July 23, 2007 by micky c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 40mm springs are a waste of money - however if u get only 60mm springs with no uprated shocks the ride would be pish.Id say either get a 60mm sus kit with uprated shocks - or get some coilies. Iv got the ones Phil J was selling 300£ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 yeah philJ's are a shade under £300 i *think* and apparently there the exact same as FK highsports and thats what im running and its nearly on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 PhilJ = £240 inc...40mm = not worth it.My Arosa is -45mm AVO and it's still got 'air', but it has a decent ride with the original shocks. 60mm would be better, but you'll have to be careful.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micky c Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well that's a p!sser, I just forked out on some 60mm springs today... I'll have to save again for those coilovers, if only I was told sooner style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
