JiMMy BiZ Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Because nobody has bothered getting custom made springs. Most choose coilovers and can fine-tune their ride height to exactly where they want it. That's what one litre wonder was saying, get coilies for £200 and you can have it anywhere between 40mm and 120mm down.Standard shocks will pop if you lower it 70mm on just springs, you'd need shortened shocks too.**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_whitt Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 quote for 70mm springs on ebay"Mad Boy Bad Boy" tarmac chewing appearance!think someone read that and was sold on the idea someone hasnt thought about the compliations of of 70mm springs, theres more to it than wack them on and let the car sit pretty...listen to phil kid because he knows more than you think! you would have gone out and got them without knowing that your shocks will popim guessing you had no idea about the shocks or you would have opted for coiloversdont be an arse when were only here to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 this is how low ive got on standard shocks and springs! (grinder ) virtually no body roll or give in the shocks lol but it IS NOT recomended listen to these guys or learn the hard way.im actually cringing at this thread.... all its missing now is someone with a ironing board spoiler, half a bin for a bonnet scoop and some self tinted windows with more bubbles than a aero bar in short , i ran 45mm springs , i blew 3 sets of front shockies , 3 sets of rear shockies . cost more than buying bloody coilovers which i ran down 120mm for over a year and never had a problem. 70mm springs + shockies nonmatched shockies or £200 for cheap coilovers with matched shockies no contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 What a crap thread.If you know it all, don't bother wasting bandwidth.Buy your -70mm springs (if you can find them) we'll keep our eye open for you with a broken subframe at the side of the road.Just don't bother letting us know how you get on.
