treblet Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Have you lowered it yet?If you haven't lowered it I'd suggest lowering it and getting some new wheels. That'll totally change the look of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) how much should i lower it ?is 40mm enough? i dont want no rubbin or scrapin problems going over speed bumps 40mm is hardly worth it, the odd scrape will do no harm and it's ill fitting wheels causes rubbing not suspension. Mine will go no lower and standard wheels with standard size ballon tyres stilll don't rub.Man up and get on with it Edited March 1, 2011 by Reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 50mm springs cost almost as much as coilovers and you're stuck at one height, it's a no brainer if you ask me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky-t Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 50mm springs cost almost as much as coilovers and you're stuck at one height, it's a no brainer if you ask me...what about different height levels on the front and back?say 40mm on the fornt and 60mm on tha back? what u reckon that will look like?
