They all look like the should be sitting in the scrapyard - fcuked bodywork needed also though! lol - looks like they're sitting on the inner arches IMO!
I'm a fan of v low - but then there's too low!
Digging the 20" cav turbo rims on the white mk2 also, gotta loves photoshop :thumb:
lol....i want to take a nova around 100mm on fk coilovers,or more if its possible.....
Going from what I've read on here, I'd say that's possible mate. Mod the inner arches (hammer) and the tarmac's the only 'bumpstop' :Dlol
IMO 60mm front (shocks and springs if you are a tight **** lol) and 80mm rear is adequate when you have a big block to bring the front down that little bit more :thumb:
Can't argue with the versatillity that comes with c/o's though - never had any on my Nova - but my Nissan's ones give me a hard on lol (jk)
DO IT :cool:
im thinking of gettin coilovers...but price is just to much, could i get some shortend shocks and get some 80mm front and 100mm springs made at customsprings.....
would that be ok you think? or is coilovers the best bet if i want to go that low and not have any troubles....
I would say for what you would pay for a set of decent uprated shocks and full set of custom springs mate that you should go for coilovers - maybe second hand?
You don't want to own yourself with a permanently fixed street sweeper imo - things change! - you may get speed bumps near your house or something!
i have already, theres 3 ways to my house, 1)speed bumps for 350 yards 2) speed bumps for 120 yards and 3) is one speed bump but i can cut across a pub car park lol!!!
I'm gonna rework my rear arces on me 31k 1000cc Nova. Its Lowered on 17" And does scurb when flat out on back roads but you sold still walk pder the car......
yep thats exactly what i had, on 17s aswell, and not a single scrubbish ever!!Quote:

i want 16s and lowered 100mm on standard arches (modified but standard look) how much work is lots? lol
This is my nova lowered 60mm at front and 100mm at the back on 16`s. I brought my rear springs from www.coilsprings.co.uk costing about ?112 including delivery. I have taken the back seats out which has made it slightly higher but now im thinkin about goin lower because I personally dont think its low enough, ive grinded the lip on the back arch and it does not scrape at all, it scrubs a little on the mudflap at the front on full lock.:thumb: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p...dtop/nova1.jpg
/\ /\ doesn't look 100mm drop to me? :confused:
i was thinking that.... barely looks 60Quote:

anyone know if/where/how much hydrawlic (lowrider stylee) suspension is for Novas?
lol nice, ye doesnt realy look 100mm at all, that coilsprings place is ment to be crap...me mate got 80mm springs from there and there higher than with 60mms
Someone say slammed. :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ovapics189.jpg
I know! when i got the springs they were smaller than the 60`s but when I fitted them it was lower but about 10mm not like the 40mm extra i expected, bit gutted really. I have thought about ordering some 140mm from them but what if then they get it right and im dragging my back bumper??? not sure what to do really!Quote:
