Picola Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) I would of said Mario's or Vworks, but Kenzies looks pretty low too. Maybe as its on grass.Bah, my un trained eye can't tell.LiamD- what drop is yours on and what size are your wheels/tyres?

LiamD Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) No idea what drop is on mine, I have about an inch or so on the coilovers left to go down.The adjusting rings and blocks went in the bin.That pic is a bad angle really... or that's my excuse!!!p.s wheels are the standard 13s, 55 profile tyres.

kenzie Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'll take a pic on tarmac if you wish. I want myn lower but im kinda f*cked at the back, however, im contemplating taking the helper springs out of the front coilovers, but the back will still sit too high.

Bewick Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Heres a few pics of mine, one is in the garage with a wood block in the way to see how low she actually is! We needed the blocks to drive onto in order to get the jacks under the car. Second one is outside my work....Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyP Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Your loop looks hard as nails matey fair play!!Are those 8s on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC02 FFF Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 i was just wondering if people could give how much they lowered by, ima thinking of getting adjustable coilovers down to 70mm front and back, and have them around 60-65 on general days, 15 inch alloys i think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Mine isn't on coilovers but budget german shocks and springs.I would say it's about 75 at the front and 55-60 at the back.I'm running 15 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poobah Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 My old effort. I still had the adjusters in like a fairy but it was as low as l could go without it handling like a plank on our less then snooker table smooth roads.

Vento_Gareth Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 -120mm all round (at the moment )Chassis cut for complete saftey Now that is getting serious, at what point do you need to cut the chassis? Just wanted to know what height you can drop without cutting the chassis before I lower my Lupo next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Anything over 90mm needs it in reality although some are happy to bash rails & driveshafts, anything over 75mm is liable to knock every now & then over large bumps.

Tigz™ Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 GTIs will knock over -80mm really, although you can fit some larger stiff bump stops but in really its not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Here`s my effortLowered on FK coilovers could still go down a wee bit but I like to drive it(plus i need to get it out my drive lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Anything over 90mm needs it in reality although some are happy to bash rails & driveshafts, anything over 75mm is liable to knock every now & then over large bumps.yet some how im fine at my ride height and the rest of the scots have managed to get 1litres all the way down on coilovers without problems , it seems to be that anything over a 1litre uses thicker driveshafts which hit the chasis leg after a certain amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
