how can i get this lower (biggish pics)

[a2lt16v]

its on 60mm gmax shocks an springs at front

and 60mm jamex shocks and springs at rear

any ways to get it lower

[Nick]

bit of a silly question

-80mm springs prehaps ?

if that's not your cup of tea, then coilovers are the best bet.

[a2lt16v]

where do you get 80mm sorings from

[Nick]

err www.coilsprings.co.uk

or it's some variation of that (coilspring, .com, coil-spring(s))

they wont go through an MOT though, as the backones literally fall out when the car is jacked up. A friend of mine went a bit airborne on a hump back bridge and one of his rears came out. His were Bodge/DIY chopped, but were roughly -80mm.

Coilovers would be alot better, better handling, adjustibility. Just a hefty price Tag

i have coil overs but they are on my other nova

wanna do it on the cheap as its just a tempory nova and i wanna see how low i can get one

[Nick]

if it's not a road car, then just chop the springs...

the proffesionally shortened springs cost a hefty amount also, about ?120 i think.

you'l eventually have trouble with the exhaust being squashed into the rear beam, but i think they can go pretty slow.

in the above pics it looks higher than 60mm

Cut the front turret tops off, and weld in a section to raise them up about 40mm, that will lower the front - 100mm.

Do the same with the rear shock, top of turret, cut off and raise.

Cut into the rear chassie leg and box it inwards and upwards about 40mm.

One saloon nova -100mm. Then if you want to go lower again, get -80mm springs.

i think the saloons allways look higher !

it probably looks higher because of the arches on it, 80mm springs are your best bet matey, that nova is in good condition buy the way :D
