i'm pretty sure i could get the back of mine that low, not actually tried yet though

[scott.parker]

Without squashing the exhaust between the beam and the underside??

how do you actually get the car that low??

mine is on avo coilovers, 300lb springs because its a 2.0 but it bottoms out already and not even that low really.Plus when doing speed on the motorway and taking a corner the whole front end feels flimsy.Bounce's around etc.... doesnt feel stable at all and thats with it set to stiff.

my lowering springs and standard shocks where better at handeling and never bottomed out but was just sucha harsh ride.

Mine feels great on FK stuff, using eccentric top mounts and the rear springs shortened an extra 30mm. I've since raised the rear so its level with the alloy and not over it. I feel going any lower is TOO low.

That looks wank :? :lol:

airbag suspension would get it that low but u wudnt be able to drive it like that.youd have to raise it, but your talking mega bucks for that

think it would definately need an independant rear suspension set up to get the wheels that high in the car. The rear beam would hit the floor otherwise :lol:

Is that with a side-exit exhaust or rear exit? Obviously you can drop it further with a side exit as there is no pipe to squash between the floorpan and rear beam.

thats with no exhaust.. no springs, no shocks... the wheel is hitting the top of the arch

[NovaBen]
