I own a 1.5d Vauxhall nova. I want to Lower it but its heavy to the front. It has a set of 15'' VT5 Massitalys and would look well lowered but i don't know how low to go without it rubbing. What do U think??

I want a nice spoiler which one??? within money reason oh yeah it might be diesel but it blew a 1.3 Ford escort off the road. Nova's 4eva

ive heard that wen u start lowering the diesels that ull break the engine mounts.... one of my mates did it and it ate the engine mounts...

dnt know if this is the reason why it broke them but alot of people have said it is...
upto u though...

Old thread alert!

Why would lowering a derv break the engine mounts anyway?

Mine has been lowered the same for just over a year now and no breakage, but I have heard of the mounts breaking as it is a heavier engine anyway. :thumb:
I wouldnt lower it any more though.
