I dont mind going over bumps really slow, wouldn't mind an uncomfortable ride but i would be worried ide catch the bumper and rip the thing off.Anyone removed the little lip you get with a lupo bumper?

DanK Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Do the philj's need the helper springs out on the front to go low enough?Always thought the fronts wound down a fair bit as they come, no need to remove anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim lupo Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 no they dont really need them taking out but there was still about an inch between the driveshaft and the chassis leg, and i just wondered how low i could run. Turns out pretty low.Il have a bash at putting some pics up later on if i get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim lupo Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Right, think this might work, got about 1cm gap between the chassis and driveshaft, if i get chance at christmas il be chopping some of the chassis out so i can get lower, with sum lower profile tyres it should be fairly decked.

I am getting custom arches fitted soon to compensate for the nigh on 2 inch poke from my 8's. Front fine.9's on the back, with work, be worth it.

DanK Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Looks spot on mate, any problems at the moment with your standard arches? does it rub at all.A bit of poke is all good, until the law see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_ Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 cheers are they worth the extra 100 that i was gonna just spend on 60mm springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yes.60mm springs on standard shocks will eventually break your shocks, and with coilovers you can get it exactly the right height you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
