Lowering PROBLEM! ASAP HELP

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have recently lowered my car 6n by 60mm using damper and spring those that is not adjustable. I have 195/50/15 tyres on it and now I cannot load people at the bk or any stuff that are too heavy in the boot becasue it rubs the arch like mad at the back.

After discussing with many people, the safest option would be using the original suspension for the back with the shorter spring from the set of 60mm lower suspension. But would these cause any problem since the height differnece between the front and the back? any effect on handling?

I thought about arch rolling (not 100% gurantee solve the problem) or lower profile tyes ( too $$ + not def solve th problem)

Can anyone give me some opinion?

Cheers

Your original shock wont last 5 minutes when used with a 60mm lowering spring.

You can get away with maybe 30-40mm lowering springs with the original shock but any more and you need uprated shocks

Best bet is either lower profile tyres, or 14" wheels lol

To give you some idea mines lowered 70mm on 185/50/14's and has never scrubbed at the back even with 5 people in the car.

should be running 195/45/15 tyres on a 6n, sounds like the offset is wrong on the wheels too. i recently built a 6n polo harlekin with polo gti engine / dash etc etc, put some coilys on it wound all the way down (-100mm or more) he has got polo gti bbs 15" rims with 195/45's and has no rubbing issues even with a full car.
