mccrindle Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Running Jom's at the moment but just now low enough tbh. Still arch gap at rear etc. is there any alternative other than buying different coils? And I don't want to cut the springs by the way.cheersJacob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 The two main options are different springs or cut existing. Realistically, what else are you thinking could be done? other than air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 3 main options,Fk rear springs (supposed to be lower than other sets)Cut the springGet custom springs made up.You could also lower the rear spring seat by cutting it out and welding in a metal band and then welding the base onto that.

JoeA Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I can vouch for the FKs being lower (than my KWs anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah I've heard about the fk short springs may have to look into them or just get fk's in general cause mine just dot go that low :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Only talking an inch lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosaproject Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 To add to this, do any coilovers go any lower than 70mm? cos i cant find any anywhere or am i just looking in the wrong place?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm running on jon blueline and mine are all the way down, which manufacturer says is 80mm front and 60mm rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Coilovers will have the TUV/approved drop on them. They will all go much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85727&st=100this is what i mean by not very low by the way. ideally want to run 15's on 165/45r15 but no point until i can get it fair bit lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 This is something asked alot, basically Lupo Coilies never how as low as most people would like. I know you don't want to, but chopping one cool would be fine and would save you alot of money. Fk rears/custom springs are not cheap!!!!

jamiea7x Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 dont quote me on this but a corsa b rear coilover unit could be modified for proper lows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccrindle Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah I remember ages ago seeing something about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yassa Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 i have meisterr coilovers and the front will go lower than is physically possible (im currently on 13s with about 10mm ground clearance) and the coilies still have at least 3iches of adjustment left! and the rear is at full low but thats plenty low enough as it gives me arch issues on 13's and i have no arch gap. so in short, yes you can go plenty low enough, just buy meisterr coilies.
