More low... YES OR NO!

Featured Replies

Hello all,

some of you may know I'm on the adventure of lowering the car a bit more but as yet undecided!

I'm getting mixed messages from users, firstly some say it needs to go alot lower yet some are saying its low enough...

also not 100% on best way of making only a few mm's difference?

i also prefer the low and wide look but if i go much lower i will not be able to make the rear much wider because it will rub... alot. :(

what does anyone else think?

ANY OPINIONS PLEASE!!

You know my opinion dude...

Tad lower mate, but does look good

hmm bit lower so the gap between the tyres and arch is reduced

10mm lower on the front

I'd say maybe the front down, a touch. But only a touch.

See tbf, I think it's perfect as it is..

The rear is fine, no need for any more width, its wide enough as it is, bout 50mm lower on the front atleast

50mm?!

I was thinking like 20; like at the actual most..

It all needs to go down 20mm

Yes 50mm (relating to top of tyre to arch, not in terms of spring height). Go get a ruler and come back and tell me what you think, 50mm isn't much at all.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know the height available inside the arches - was just thinking the tyres look a little too bold to be able to tuck 50mm.

From the picture it doesn't look like there's much more than 25mm between tyre and arch?..

Sorry this made me piss my self!

i dont know what to do! I'm worried it will go wrong if I'm honest!

would it be an idea to get thinner walled tyres? would that make it better or worse also i agree it needs more at the from but dont know how much of the spring to cut :S

obviously the top part of the spring is more together and dont know how much to take off

HELP!

Also the front is going wider because I'm putting some VW11 Brakes on and they wont fit behind the wheels so it only needs about 10mm so should i do the back!

love a good stance!

Request a realistic photoshop off someone which will drop the front 10mm (a coil) and go from there, but I agree less chat more do...

What could go wrong chopping a coil off lol

What about the bottom?

Lop off a a coil at a time - so it's flush again.

HELP!

Well stop being a pussy and get grinding then!

you've said it yourself, now get on with it.. :lol:

Get someone to sit on bonnet And see what u tink blud x

Make sure you drive it with said person to see if it scrubs.

Corner quickly to see how weight transfer affects it.

Good idea, ratchet strap them on.

Lie on back to lower centre of gravity

Not on phone now, 15-20mm on front actually

i know it will look better but seriously worried about spring chopping going wrong

firstly will it fuck up handeling?

will it screw up the ride?

also how will i know how much to take off

will the spring sit right on the strut etc?

and I'm not going out in the snow right now to do it :p

Just dont wanna screw the car up for the sake of 10-20 mm drop on the front and then have to fork out to get new springs put back on?
