Lowering The Back Only
« on: 06 December 2004, 02:36 »
Ive got my car on a 40MM drop all round. But because its stripped the arse is sitting up too high and looking a bit lame. I want to put 60MM springs on the back. So just two questions really.

1) Will this effect handling, to have a larger drop on the back?
2) Anyone know where i can get 2 rear 60mm springs from?

GSF Springs are ?60, I think im gonna have to buy a set of 60mm springs and just fit the rear ones. If anyone wants a set of springs that are a 60mm drop on the front and a 40mm on the back, ?40  :wink:

i think you can buy pairs of springs from demon tweaks? don't quote me on that bit i seem to remember...... either that or as your going for motorsport styling, did anyone see the grant motorsport mk1 going up the strip at gti international the last few years?!? ass in the air stance to get more traction i suppose?!
