joshuaspragg Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 i've only just bought my lupo, and the one thing i do wanna do to it is lower it, i dont want it scraping on the floor i just want it nice and snug, so i was wondering, is it worth just getting springs that lower by 40mm or coilovers? plus i want abit more of a stiffer ride, my suspension is flopping around everywhere at the moment (been driving a mini for a year and half, so i kinda forgot what suspension feels like)and how difficult is it to do myself?any advice would be appreciated.

Al3xTee Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Depends how low you want to go, I had 40mm springs, looked good but if you're a 'Lower!' Person like me they won't do. You want coilovers any lower than 40mm. If you want 40mm springs, I have some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want 40mm springs, I have some i dont want to go ridiculously low because i work on top of a mountain and i dont want to be replacing bumpers every other week. 40mm will give you a nice look stance wont it?any how much for the springs?

JoeA Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 40mm is barely noticeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Look around here all the answers are already on the forum.Look at the members rides for a height you want and go from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al3xTee Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think you might want lower than 40mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 40mm is barely noticeable+1From what your saying it seems that coilies are the way to go. That way you can set it to the exact that'll look good and still allow you to get to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fob163 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 coilies will allow you to have exactly what you want. so get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Coilovers are the way forward. Matched shocks and springs and you can set them at a sensible height to start and go as low as want later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
