Just lowered my car 60/40, and now the front end is too low...!!!!

[Obvious]

yeah, strange the rear sits so low ?
Are the deffo the same size springs ? Have the rears got cup adjusters on ?
My 60mm drop is more like a bloody 80mm drop ! Got it booked in at 2pm to put the 40mm on ! Another £80 down the shoot.....!

Thought it was strange myself, The garage that fitted the springs said the front would settle down more once they bed in.. It settled a touch yes but nowhere near as much as the rear.. The spring sizes are correct so unless it's something else which I am yet to put my finger on. As to whether the rears have cup adjusters on I'm not too sure.

If you dont slam it and your thinkin of selling the kit i may just have a good home for it to go to......for the right price

ok. The car has now got 35mm front springs on !  and it's still low. Any more of a drop would be impractical.  It may not have looked like is was low, but is was!!
Sorry for the improper use of 'old skool 'slam' ! But I do like a little bounce to my ride and not scraping the arches every time I turn the wheel, went round a roundabout or speed hump !
It was on tip toes esp at the front before, so has to be better now !
I had a CL spoiler before and changed it for the VR6 one. This height seems just right. The ET of the ATS cup are 33 as opposed to the ET45 that is on now, and should just fill the arches a bit better. Wider tyres are possibly an option, but I have a whole heap of 185's to use !
 
Here are the new pics with the NEW front ride height. Mudflaps are to be removed.!

[BigDaveC]

I can fix this... I'll swap a standard front valance for your vr6 one

i've still got the old standard one if I need it 

[Dizzie]

that looks phat

[BigDaveC]

 

Mudflaps have now been taken off because they scraped on the speed bumps. I can't wait to get my ATS Cups put on, they should make the world of differernce and compliment the lowering.

'tis gonna be sweet man - is sorely tempting me to drop the gti!

[BigDaveC]

cheers man ! Yours looks quite low already.?

It's seems much quicker now, the old suspension was knackered and soggy !
Mudflaps taken off and CL spoiler put back on. ( i do need it to be practical for driving!)


14" x 6 ATS Cups don't really have a dish which is dissapointing, but I 'd like to keep the existing dimensions and setup.


Had a go trying them on to see what they'd look like after the refurb  :embarassed:-

looking  fella, i really like the ATS wheels with the mk3 (didnt think i would )
