Ever heard of drop plates?

[Dmonday]

Wouldn't mind seeing a pic of them, see how hard they are to replicate

Seem like a cool idea. Not sure on the -5 plate though!

Some guy on edition replicated them i'll have a look when i get home from work see if he posted any diagrams

yeah id also like to see them as its probably something i could fabricate myself.

There are two types:

One that goes at the mounts to the bodyshell, moving the beam backwards to put the wheelbase back on a very low car.
I suppose they could work...but why do you need them?
Looks?
Clearance?
I'm really unsure...

The other simply relocates the stub axles upwards on thick plates, whick leaves the beam at the proper angle, but lets the car be very low...all well and good if you don't actually corner your car.
Put it this way, if VW Motorsport braced the rear beam to stop the rear beam flexing and altering camber and toe...what chance has a 10mm plate got of keeping the rear wheels pointing where you want them?
Ans: none.

Waste of money...they are for the retarded that want to run uber low at all costs.

Sound advice as always

I didn't know Danny was retarded?

I didn't know Danny was retarded?

If he fitted them things to allow the car to sit lower, it would appear so.

Slightly confused i aren't running these?

So... If I put these on the rear only.... That would still be bad?

I'm on shocks and springs and the rear is about 30mm too high.

It's an estate so spring cups are impossible to find and I don't wanna change my suspension setup as it's nice and soft at the moment.

To be honest I would never feel save using them.
