[wwmnw]

Would get uncomfortable after a while wouldn't it? And if you're a porky ******* like me, you'd have fun trying to get out. Mines only -40 and I have roll out :cry: I get stuck between the door and pillar when someone parks too close :cry:

[novadave24]

why even bother running springs then.:wtf: :tard:

[General Baxter]

buy my coil overs they start at 100mm lol

[MattBrown]

Just buy 100mm springs.

But for this you will need shorter bodied shocks.

Its cheaper to buy a shat set of coilovers from egay, but, on 100mm, you will knock cv's out of it for a laugh, destroy tires, and it wont handle lol

we chopped my bros rear springs and all they do is fall out best bet if your on a budget is to heat shrink them, id still buy proper springs though

Cutting springs is dangerous. Dont be a tool.

For a Max drop, you need to cut the spring seat from either the chassis or the rear beam. If you remove it from the rear beam you'll need to re mount it lower. Cable ties and self tapper screws (galvanised so they wont rust) are ideal. If you remove it from the chassis leg you'll need to reinforce it with either some biscuit tin or 3 or 4 layers of rigid card board.

if you are planning on dropping your car, i suggest getting a parachute would be a prudent idea....

but for lowering...... seriously, for road use on real normal roads, don't lower it 100mm.... for one, you won't get over the McDonalds speedhump....
second... you will grind the exhaust pipe off on the bumps, ask baxter

Very true, 60mm drop, sat at 70 on the rear, and my exhaust used to scraped the centre box on every speedhump, not fun.

Just take the springs out, bumpstops FTMFW!

[novadave24]

not suprised the exhaust caught at 70 over speed bumps lol

i have 90mm springs all round made by coilspring in sheffield

the ride is harsh but just didnt look right on 60mm springs with the loon due to the round arches
