tom pennington Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ive wanted to know for a while now how people get the backs of lupos so low....I have a set of T.A. Technic coil overs, of which the fronts are ace, and will sit your lupo on the floor, however the rears even at their lowest sit really high...So what isit people do? do you just simply be a little sketchy and cut the springs? or are their replacements or certain different springs and dampers for the back from different makes that go lower? if so, where do you buy them?!Help would be much appreciated, cheers.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Do you still have the rear adjusters in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Moley Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Only have the spring in. No adjusters, no rubbers, no nothing. Cut your bumpstops down aswell. Put something heavy in the back for a week or two and it should sit pretty low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The most permant way to do it is to cut the lower spring seat out and then weld it lower down, then drill a lower shock bolt hole. That way you can retain some ride comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 cut the spring or get shorter ones. and get some shocks off a set of corsa coilovers as they are shorter and will stop the shorter spring falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 they are a fair bit shorter to be fair, just make sure you get shocks off a coilover kit tho and not standard ones as they are too soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
