Ed30 Lowering
« on: 06 January 2009, 20:03 »
Hi guy's. So who has lowered there Ed30 then? and by how much? considering speed humps/pot holes.
I'm looking at lowering mine but by how much, what do you guys recomend.
Cheers Troy :undecided:

Just lowered mine again today. Overall drop is around 40mm from stock. Not slammed totally as there are a few dodgy speed humps scattered around where I live and the car just clears them now.

If you lower too much the geometry can be altered excessively and you may need shorter mounts to stop uneven tyre wear. :smiley:

I've got Eibach Sportlines and they lower the car by 25-30mm which for me is spot on as it caused no problems as far as speed bumps/pot holes go and the ride 'comfort' hasn't been compromised either :afro:

KW Version 2. 28mm front, 30mm rear. Also 15mm spacers on the back.
Over rough surface, when the car jumps around, I have rubbing on the rear wheels.
My wheels are standard 18-inch Monza II.

Does that mean you can drive straight over speed bumps etc without slowling down (too much)?

Not really Stealth, but I don't have to slow down any more than I used to.
