Adam Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The two adjuster rings on the rear, you can take them off if you want it a bit lower, it should give you another 10-15mm lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just took my adjusters off to get the lowest poss and it looks good, only prob is now one side is a few mm off compared to the other but not too noticable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I haven't taken my adjusters off, just some people on this site have, not sure about the dampners, i do know that its lower than the TUV approved height, so warranty probs will be affected.

Think that’s dangerous mate? As the spring has no flat face to sit on, just the cone shaped bit at the bottom. It’s just the adjuster ring (the thinner, smaller one at the bottom) that people take out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 what i will say mate , before you do it , i jack the car up from the base plate of the towing eye at the back ( not the actual loop but where its welded to the chasis ) and that way i can get the trolley jack under the car even when its slammed . anyway , when you take the block out , lower it slowly and make sure they locate properly as the springs are that short they sometimes dont line up 100% spot on and could ping out , so make sure they locate right and you should be fine . i run mine as a daily with the blocks out and no problems . ill prob be like dan though and shoot the shockies to sh*t but who cares , all part of the fun style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
