What's this mota lowered by in mm? Thanx!

[GTE TURBZ]

Anyone know what this is lowered by, as the peep at POTN (performance on the net claim its a 40mm drop) im pretty convinced its a 60mm

Or can advise on a suspension kit ride height setup to achieve this look, 195 45 R15 tyres, budget about 300/350 quids Cheers peeps

Rear 40/50mm

Do you have 300/350 to spend on suspension alone or do you mean you have it to spend on a kit AND some 195 45 15 tyres?

If my Nova needed dropping and I had 350 burning a hole in my pocket, I'd get something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KONI-SUSPENSION-NOVA-1-2-1-6-ADJUSTABLE-SHOCKS-SPRINGS_W0QQitemZ8050831858QQihZ019QQcategoryZ4019 2QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

Back end of that one looks like -40mm to me, mines -40 and you can still see the top of the rear tyres but I don't have any rear seats to weigh it down.

Depends on the weight of the car and what suspension is fitted tbh (a heavy car on 50mm springs may sit as low as a light car on 60mm springs...), but in those pics it appears to be sitting at 60F and 50R, same as my old hatch.

no there was just a 1.6 turbo'd gte lump but thats hardly gonna add extra weight, so yeah 1.6 gte double head gasket jobbie.

thats 300/350 just on the suspension kit, i want the ride height equal all round

here's the side profile

mine sits like that its dropped 40mm on a gmax springs and shocks and its only a 1.2 lyk hope it helps

Depending on the angle you view a car from it will change height anyway due to perception. If you stand over a car you can see the tyres disappear under the arches, walk away & look straight on & it could like like theres a gap!

That looks a saggy -60mm to me.

Ive had some -35mm fr springs that dropped that low, awfull quality ride & handling tho.

Looks nice, does it ride well?

GMAX! Says it all. My 1.2 was on G-MAX & it was crap....

[mayhem]

60 front, the back.. not sure, if its 40 or 60.

i got 60-60 on my nova, and i'm just a little lower on the back.

My nova is lowerd about 40mm all round on coilovers

Handles Absoultly brillant also a lil scrubbing i think its the wheels..

what tyres you got on there thought if its rubbing, also with coilovers, aren't they adjustables i.e the ride height

[Martin]

195.45.15s coilovers are adjustable.. it only catches on the front when hard in turn...

fronts stick out slightly..not fussed there going in favor of some astra gte rims..

anymore comments as i will be looking to lower it soon. :)
