Lozza Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Pllleeaaasssee can someone help a newbie to the world of the Loop-lows out!I've had my baby for over a year now and I'm rockin' TA's and 15" Calibre Dubs. I have removed the adjusters and am as low as I can possibly go on the coils I've got but it's not satisfying my needs!I've got adjustment on the front still; rears slammed and had the arches rolled and plans to get the fronts done. I have a few questions:Firstly, I had Arch Enemy out and the fella said I can't really flare the rears due to the bumper; how do I get around this for room to go lower?Also what have you all down to get on the floor? I literally need this in my life- I am not complete without it (I do want to stay safe though- I do regular 200mile round trips)Please advise me, I know what I'm after (as low as I can go) I just dont know how to do it!Thanks,Lauren x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 You could get custom wound rear springs? And camber the rears a little so they tuck in the arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've got two sets of camber shims on each wheel at the back already which looks luverly!I have considered getting custom springs just wondered what everyone else does?As for custom springs; where can I get this done and at what cost (roughly)? Thanks Lauren x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Cut a coil or two off each spring, tonnes of people have done it, just put some other springs in for MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah maybe I should just do it... and if all else fails back to plan A. custom springs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 just jack up, one coil off at at a time (do both sides together) let it down, see how you like, if you want lower, repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 will give it a shot, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 If you want to get on the floor you need air. Or hydraulics, I believe the 1st guy to do it to a Lupo is now selling the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 why not get down to some 13" alloys, you'd be able to get lower then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozza Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Selling the kit... says it all! Ha! no I would if I could afford it! Plus static drop gets more kudos! I did think about smaller wheels but I like what I've got; choosy woman that I am! Watch this space, we'll touch the floor if its that last thing I achieve with the car!

JoeA Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Don't get smaller wheels, it's cheating, lay it on 16s if you want kudos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh don't say that! I found the most beautiful 16's but thought they'd be too big... and they were so pretty! :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Depends on offsets, speak to little green giant (Ben Gardner) he may shed some light, he knows good fitment! Slamming on some ats classics is just cheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'll agree with that especially as I'm not rolling on ats classics! I need to learn how it all works properly, I don't know enough! Lol glad I posted on here though because I've had plenty of feedback, cheers all x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
