Having 2nd forts on something... Lowering.
« on: 10 June 2012, 16:33 »
Right chaps. Basicly what's all your opinions on this? I just went and measured my 2002 AUM, it was parked on a slight hill. But I'm gunna lower her next month. And been looking at buying a ARB and Adjustably Droplinks thought this week as you lot no. But wen I measured her, it seems as I'll only be ably to lower 50mm MAX  :undecided:

For the sake of an extra 10mm in lowering do u rekon I shouldnt bother buying a ARB & adjustable drop links? And just lower it to 40mm. As tht to me acturly seem like a good drop.

I'll re-measure her on a flat either later tonite. Or tomoz.

But for the sake of 10mm ay? Hmm.  :laugh:

What do u rekon boys?
What would u do?

What are lowering it on? If on coilies then you can obv adjust...If on springs then just get some 40mm springs *cough* I have some eibachs for sale*cough*

Most people, including my self, don't have any trouble lowering 40mm.

When it comes to lowering a car/spacing out wheels etc. 10mm makes more of a difference than you might think :wink:

Cheers Scar, and yea Indeed curly. Think I'll drop it 40mm now. Wait
Till I get my 18s alloys (few months time) then decide from there wether to lower even more or stick with the 40mm drop. Cheers chaps  :wink:
