How Low Can My Nova Go!

[Nova-Dan]

well ive got some wheels that are 14 inch and im wondering if i can get it slammed at 80mm front and 100mm rear, will it work,

[Stuart]

a 100mm drop on the rear "would work" but at the same time you will have NO suspension travel and would render the car a pile of **** for driving.

you can turret the rear suspension mounts and move the mount on the beam to give the drop and keep some travel but thats work, and i dont know if you care about a good drive..lol

[Nova-Dan]

so would you say 80mm rear and 60 front is max then

[dan16v]

imo 60mm is ideal at the front, and not any lower than 70mm on the rear or you will end up with it sat on the bump stops and have feck all travel as stu has said:)

[Nova-Dan]

ok well im getting the suspension on this week end as its just sat without any springs or shock on now,so ill see what i think it looks like,

[Adam]

How are you planning on getting it 80mm at the front and 100mm at the rear?
?400 coilover kit?

[Nova-Dan]

springs,im going to keep it 60 now anyway

springs,im going to keep it 60 now anyway


you will need a coilover kit to go much more than 60mm.:D

[dan16v]

not realy, just get custom springs made up.

[coochiSR]

Yeah lets cut the springs.................. and 14's Dan? thought you wanted speedlines or cesaros, AND big ass 4 pots?

[Nova-Dan]

Quite the opposite actually.

[Stuart]

better accel though... but then they are "std" wheels so accel will be no better....
