Title: lowered
Post by: sambo1670 on 23 September 2008, 21:07

hello everyone

i've lowered my car around 60mm, was just wondering if i need to change wishbones, drive shafts.  being at a different angle all the time than a standard setup, will the bushes and what not wear quicker?

No need, mine is lower than that with no issues.

Mine was down 90mm front and 75mm back..... the driveshafts did take some stick this low, so I've raised it slightly at the front and now all is good  :cool:
At 60mm it should be fine and not cause issues

Well that means its not low enough!! I had to plan my route before going near speed humps as it banged the floor! now it's just a little bit higher  :angry:
