Fitted Lowering Springs but...
« on: 10 August 2005, 19:40 »
Hi,
I got new shocks and lowering springs fitting on my car (bought the set from eurocar parts).

But, the front seems to be lower than the rear. Any ideas why this is the case?

Thanks

Yep, mines the same.

I got some BOGE turbo gas shocks and GSF's own lowering springs.

Supposed to lower by 40mm, but personally I couldn't tell the difference, well at the rear anyway, it looks like a dragster.


Im a bit gutted as it was a lot of messing about, and i've seen quite a few Clippers that are really low. :-(
