Rosie02 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 So, now have sold my pioneer beast of a stereo and am getting coil overs. First thing is the limit on them are 100mm so the question is is that low enough? Anyone running 100mm drop or any pic of different drops. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) 100mm is pleanty low, for a rough idea just measure 10cm down from your sills. Main thing to look at is the cover on the CAT, as this is the lowest part - on mine anywayMy cat currently sits roughly 1.5 inches from the deck, and im by no means lowI've got about 20mm left on my coilovers and the front - so im 80 down Edited January 29, 2012 by Ashh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie02 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 no way!!! so your saying your baby is 80mm low........so i'v been worrying about 100mm being not low, when to be far it is plenty! Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man!Yeah, 100 is wayyy pleanty! tbh i think in that picture i was a little bit higher than 80mm lol. best thing to do is get them on the car and go from there theres always ways of getting more lows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbles21 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just cos you've got 20mm left of tread doesn't mean your 80mm down!The 100mm they quote is simply reccomended, or what is accepted in the TUV standard. Realistically they will go a bit lower. It's hard to tell how much lower down you actually are, best bet is to measure from the bumber/arch/sill down compared to a standard car but that will also take into account wheel/tyre size and even tyre pressure.

d@vid Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 just try get the ones with the lowest quoted drop you can, it won't be as they say it is, its just a guideline in actual fact. besides you can always get busy on them if the drop isnt good enough for you.. you can chop springs, remove helpers, cut down bumpstops, fit smaller springs, smaller top mounts etc.as for drilling new holes for the rear damper, ommfffg!these little cars are surprisingly driveable on the floor too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
