[epo]

my old one was 60mm on 15's
have a look at my profile

[Jack]

Mine was 60mm front and 50mm rear on Spax items, with 15" OZ wheels and 195/4515 tyres. Look in profile for pics. Originally it was about 40mm which was ok, but still looked a little high - the 60mm drop sat the wheels in the arches nicely, and being spax shocks too helped the ride quality good.

Baxter is just a crazy fool lol

[ade]

mines on 60mm too...

look in the profile for some members cars - the profile will tell you the springs they have...give you an idea

[boredbloke]

I was gona bid on a set of hydrualics (sp??)

but ended up thinking twice about it, I'm gutted now it could have been so much fun!!!

[novaexplod]

im having the same problem ive got 15's with a 45 offset n dunno whether do -60 front -50 back , -60 front -40 back 60 all round, 50 all round or 40 all round lmao :lol: :lol: due to problems such as ride quality? how camber is affected at -60? and rear arch scrubbage?

i want mine as low as possible but dont wanna have to spend more money on stupid problems if ive just spent ?220+ on a lowering kit.

ne1 got ne suggestions plz?

[Jack]

I'd say ride quality depends on what springs/dampers you get, but my spax items were pretty harsh (60f, 50r). Soon got used to them tho :)

40mm

40mm

seem's more that 40 at the front though

don't forget that all nova's are different, swap one lowering kit from 1 nova to another and it will sit at a different height

40mm

some nice lookin nova's around.

Im goin for a Eibach sportline kit now thats 45 - 50mm. some of the cars on ere were 40 but seemed lower then that. but i fink the sportline kits are a good compromise between 40s and 60mm drops.

Thanx for your pic ppl got a good idea of what it will look like now
