« on: 04 December 2003, 21:19 »

i want to go the lowest possible.

i will be running 16s with 45 profile tyres.

The car will be pretty heavy wiv a sub and will be full wiv people quite alot of the time.

i dont want arch work and i dont want the wheels rubbin.

i was thinking 60mm?

your best bet will be coilovers, then you can set the height & the stiffness etc to suit ur needs. u can go as low as 120mm on some sets of coilovers

I think with a sub and 3 people in the back the rears would rub over bumps, especially if you only going to buy springs. Lowering 60mm on coilovers you could increase the tension and probabily get away with it, although ride would be more unconfortable.

one other thing about goin low. the exhaust can get damaged easily like mine did over the never ending road bumps.

You may also find that the inner front arch lip gets thinner and thinner because of the front wheels making contact. Nothing serious but good to know ???
