    Default Suspension question

    Just fitted 35mm lowering springs but doesn’t seem much lower than standard,then someone said I’m supposed to take bump stops out,I replied with don’t be stupid. Please tell me I’m right?
    Wish I’d gone for 60mm drop

    If you removed 20+ year old standard springs which will have sagged over the years and replaced with brand new -35mm it might not sit much lower I had to go for coilovers in the end to get the look I wanted. Are they new - could you send them back and get the -60mm instead?

    35mm ain't a low drop. 60mm plus is what you want to change the look.

    Cant you go for a decent 2nd hand suspension set up?


    60mm springs on old standard shocks isn't the best idea tbh

    I've had a few sets of Spax springs and dampers. Never really had any issues with them.
