Deadmetal Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 You will easily be able to go 80mm.Im on AP coilovers, adjusters out at the back and about 1.5/2 inches left of thread on the fronts, rolled arches and I can still carry three people no problems.

jabbles21 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I wouldn't know, I only have 1 friend. Tyres matter too - Don't get anything too tall or wide!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 As the tallest speedbumps are 100mm high, and i just scrape on the tallest ones, for completely trouble free driving, you can only lower as much as this:I scrape a tiny bit more with a full car. Newer speedbumps are built to a maximum of 75mm high, best to be sensible when lowering as to where you have to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshey Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 i have mine on 14s and ta coilies wound to bottom some speed bumps do scrape and some dont. the slim rubber ones you get in car parks are the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuaar Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 It's been answered? People have said how low they are, on what wheels and how many people they can carry and get over speed bumps what else is there to answer? Also the point in having coilovers is that you can set the height and if you aren't happy with it you can adjust it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I asked about budget coilovers! I'm running JOM Blueline coilovers (budget ones), they can go pretty low at the front, back doesn't go as low as other more expensive brands. Click my link in my sig to see how low i am, the backs have adjusters out and still loads of thread on the front to go down. With regards to a full car they are OK dependant on how low you have it. I often carry myself, two friends and a load of band equipment with no problem, wouldn't want to cruise over the speed bumps though. Just bare in mind that coilover suspension is much stiffer, so the suspension will compress less that standard suspension when its got people in the car (although it still does a bit so dont go mad). This is just from my experiences though. Like i say, check my ride thread to see how low i run my little band bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarynn Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks MikeW, those were the budget ones I was looking at.. think after I get coils thats me done with the car.. no more mods yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 its safe to say, if you want to you can get lupos sitting on the floor with a few custom touches on regular coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
