how low can you go?

[novalew]

Hi all

I was thinking about getting some springs from coilsprings (100 or 120 mm)

Just wondering what shocks you lot would reccomend or do you know of any coilovers that offer similar drops?

[Jim Mcrae]

You are looking at serious work to get that low i think. You would have to do loads of arch work and mabye change the position of the suspension. Not worth the hassle

100mm has been done a fair bit, a mate of mine had his lowerd 100mm on 13" steels lol and fook me that was low!

but people do it with bigger wheels on etc

[Jon_nova1]

to do the front would be lots of work, doing the back would be much easier

[ross.s]

my old nova was down 100mm at the back and 60mm at the front

did it cause you much hassle ross? much archwork?

[philthepill_389]

only arch mod it the lip grind it back a little roll it and seal it good and then paint it job done

imo with a true 100mm rear drop you would have no travel what so ever!

also that black one above is never 100mm on the rear! myne is just as low as that on 70mm springs!

thats myne @70mm, both our wheels are 16" and both appear to sit with the alloy meeting the arch lip?

ste did your window rubbers like fold up and go under the metal of the door (top of the door)??

[Ste L]

only slightly... sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't

[vaughanmc]

yeah my drivers door does it as well -- quite annoying and i haven't worked out a fluent way to fix it

i do it in stages lol

[dan16v]

Burgo does look good 100mm at the front lol!! i think any lower than 70mm and the car starts to sit with the rear lower than the front which which looks abit gay!

[Ste L]

mine sat level...

80/90 rear, 60mm front..
