30/30 vs 60/40 Suspension, pictures?

[Clony3k]

What do you prefere? Would be great if you could post a picture whit your ride hight, and maybe specify tyre size?

Thanks :tard:

I prefer 60/40 personally due to the weight distribution and my driving style. But a lot of people like equal drop front and rear...30mm should be a nice compromise between handling and ride comfort. Sorry no pics to help :(

hi ive got mine on spax 40/40 usin 195/45/R15 tyre setup for now fairly good handling wiselol have used 60/40 in the past with same tyre setup but hated the tyres catching all the time:eek: plus it was very firmlol

Anything less than 60/60 and it's substandard.

I have 30/30 springs on mine - to be honest I feel they sit slightly lower but they are meant to be 30/30 none-the-less.

Ride is superb, quite comfy, I'd say as comfy as original if not better but much firmer and handling is great (I'd say partly 'coz they are very good quality springs made by H&R - springs alone cost as much as Pi or GMAX spring and shock kits lol)

Here's a quick pic... wasn't totally on level ground but still gives you an idea

[boyd_1989]

With 195/45R15 fronts and 195/50R15 rears, and still no catching the arch, but when i had some 195/50R15's on the front they caught the arch on full lock.

Those wheels are 15" x 6.5j 42 offset with 195/45 R15 so not the most ideal wheel dimensions. Only used to scrub on one side with couple in the back. The arch lips have been rolled now.

[moffat]

for driveabilty 60mm all round, mines lower than that atm,

ive got budget coilovers andno rear springs fitted atm, but will be about 90/100mm on the rear anyway, on 16" x 6.5J et49 with 195/45/16 tyres no catching at all, could come down a bit on the front too...

ideally ill be upgrading to GAZ coilovers and 195/40/16 tyres eventually
