Cant Get Rear Slammed

[nacho mcnova]

I had a jamex 60mm full suspension kit on my nova and the front droped fine but the rear didnt move an inch so i swaped it onto my wee tigra and the same problem occured. has anyone had this problem? how can i overcome this nightmare? cheers peeps

yes, you have the wrong springs. ring the supplier

[~~joycey~~]

Are you def sure the rear springs are lowering ones?

[nacho mcnova]

i thought it might of been the springs bt i tried my pal's 60mm springs of his corsa and it didnt drop. do u think 80mm springs would do the trick?

are you sure the original rear springs werent shagged and saggy so NEW lowering ones havent dont anything...

We compared Dans car on a -60ish kit to my std 1.2 a few years back and his was an inch higher lol

[~~joycey~~]

60mm and it did'nt drop it at all? Are you sure? Any pics?

[nacho mcnova]

na m8 ma wee gsi has only done 40,000 miles so the springs were pretty much new. I changed the suspension at abt 30,000 thot the springs jst needed 2 settle in bt as time went on i relised it wasnt right.

Stop text typing, read the rules.

are you sure the back never had lowering springs in it before you started. or can you push the car down from the boot as the rubber bits in the shockys might be the wrong ones stopping it going down.

no mate the car was totally standard when i got it. it was sitting since 1997 in a police compound b4 i got it. the back of the car is pure solid but its the same when i switched the suspension to the tigra. i bought the suspension brand new 4 a nova so id reacon the parts with the kit were right. thanks 4 everyones feedback.

the gte/gsi was lowered from the std model. the new springs may not be lowered gte/gsi ones, but lowered std ones.....

go get some 90's matey i have spent loads on springs and have never been happy!! i got some 90's and it still needs them to bed in as ive barely used it but its looking allot beter allready!!!

[nacho mcnova]

i think you're right about the springs being for a non gsi i will have to look about to see if i can source a pair. cheers

[nacho mcnova]

good thinking batman, do you know where i can get ahold of 90's? how does the car handle with 90's on the back?
