looks good. what coilovers did u use? i was going to buy the jamex lowering kit on ebay. the front lowers to 85mm but the back is to 65mm

[moffat]

take the bumpstops out and should go lower at the rear

coilsprings.co.uk (i think thats it anyway)

When people say this, do they mean the collar around the shock piston?

Or is there something else?

As mine doesnt seem that low!

[Nutty Nova]

You need to PM Djdommyp

Thats the chap on here who usually sells 80 to 100mm springs.

Bought a set myself and they are top notch

Why would they fall out with moving? The weight of the car will be on them. So they shouldn't move.

[reevie1987]

my mate gaz who lives across the road has done exatcly the same on his mk2 astra gte i think its the in thing round the lincoln area

[MattBrown]

My passenger one jumped out when going fast over a railway line, must have come off the ground!

Has he told his insurance about cutting the springs?

[John]

The shock absorbers won't affect the ride height one bit. it's the springs that do the height. I wouldn't suggest taking the Bumpstop out, it's there for a purpose! if the shocks are fully compressed and you need to take the bumpstop out to get it lower, you must have real problem with your suspension!

[reevie1987]

i never do over 60mph in my car its not possible with the amount of bumps on the road and on the back the wheels are like 1mm away from rubbin on the arches bit mad i know so if i went fast over a big bump it wud scrape so if i potter about in it like a sunday driver i dont think my springs will come out mine you if i was on a flat road i can go flat out just wish the roads was better providing we pay taxes

[reevie1987]

im not lowwering my car no more its stupidly low as it is when you are in my car you dnt need to go to alton towers you just go in that because the ride is stupidly bumpey think its brittains bumpyest ride lol

[Plug]

[reevie1987]

i will get some pics of my car i didnt think it was possible to lowwer the car so much spec on 17s took me a week to do i had to cut all the inner arches out
