40/40, 60/40, 60/60............???
« on: 16 June 2007, 00:18 »
Which suspension kit??? Was thinking budget coilies but was advised that a spring/shock kit might be better for around the £250-300 mark. Got a 1991 8v that I want to lower but cannot decide by how much? Don't want it too low but an improved look sitting on 15" BBS RM's is the aim. Which kit? Lowered by how much? I was thinking 40/40? Look forward to your thoughts/opinions. Pics of cars with various kits/heights appreciated. Cheers, Huw.

Here's a pic of mine lowered 40mm on Boge shocks and Eibach springs, handles like the dogs b@llocks !!  :grin: :grin:

Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

Lowered 40/40 on weitec gas shocks and unknown springs...



I don't think a semi will give the same results

If you have got the money then fine, but shocks and springs do exactly the same for a fraction of the price.
More money to spend on other bits !!  :grin: :grin:
