AlexFox Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ive ordered some for my fox they come on monday and going to put them on sometime in week wat is your insurance quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmiss_vwx Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Nice ive had mine on a few months now but when i first did mine i rang and declaired i dropped the car 10 cm and i only had 2 months left and it was a extra £22 quid, the renewal is a extra £100 odd but admiral dont normally insure cars lowered any more than 5 cm but guessing as i was a existing customer they made a exception? Lol i did have a crash early 2011 thats still on my insurance tho and the lupos only 1L, only thing is the back (not sure if its just JOM kit) is higher at the back than the front the stance looks odd another lad has done something to make his back lower but didnt get chance to ask him propley how tho, my brother has took his adjuster out on his polo his on JOM's its helped lower it but hes got the trouble of the spring coming off when car is jacked, didnt no if anyone knows of any other or simpler safer ways?

sharpelupo Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I had jom on my last lupo if u want the backs really low maybe think about taking out the adjusters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmiss_vwx Posted June 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Was it ok? Have any problems with it was going to do it yest but wanted to ask if anyone had any alternatives or problems im worried about my backbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpelupo Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 didn't do it on that one but my gti has the adjusters out and it sits nice and low on the rear, only one way to find out really if its no good for you then just pop them back in trial and error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmiss_vwx Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Oh ok sorry i didnt read properly, thanks so i will try it been thinking about it for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Adjuster out. If that's not low enough, custom made springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 What deadmetal said. Have a look on his thread for the right spring specs to use.The way to solve the issue of the spring falling out is to cable tie it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmiss_vwx Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Pete, where do you cable tie them too? Any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cable tie 'em to the swing arm, at the bottom where the springs seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 just to the spring seat mate. there will be a hole where the adjuster bolt went through. sorry no pic's unfortunately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmiss_vwx Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 The jom kit is gd value for money but not best quality, got 100mil drop on front but the backs 75, not bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyDy Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 hello..Dont´t you have a problem with "stabilizer" (I don´t know, how its right in english; torsion rod to chassis)? I have only lower springs with sh.-absorber, probably -80mm (maybe more) and now I cannot go lower, because the "stabilizer" now is cca 5mm from chassis/cabin.How can you go lower without cutting to chassis?? Now it´s my lowering:https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/q77/s720x720/430074_4663125346649_1095496634_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
