Hi. What are the implications and/or concerns with having two inches added to the suspension turrets, thus effectively lowering the car but being able to use standard suspension for comfort.....
suspension turrets
Hi. What are the implications and/or concerns with having two inches added to the suspension turrets, thus effectively lowering the car but being able to use standard suspension for comfort.....
I understand that I would prob need shorter rear springs though
Gonna be close to the bonnet, couldn't run a strut brace, would mean the lower arm is always angled upwards ect. Lowering springs and shocks (not Coilovers) are surprising forgiving anyway, better with slightly chunky tyres
They would hit the bonnet?!?Originally Posted by steve1434
I measured the space and it is a little over two inches between bonnet and turret. Just for arguments sake say it was just a 25mm change on the turret......
Sounds like a lot of work to me will look like a botch not very strong and gain 25 mm bonkers just get good suspension
burgo and his brother have just done this to there mk3 astra estate... seems to work well!
I know people in the past have been known to mount the stub axle further up the rear axle in order to get the back end lower, but to go to those lengths on the front end just seems daft....
I would think there is a lot more space under the Astra bonnet is that the white one they got off Johnny putting good derv motor in it
there was an army green nova a good few years back that had spaced turrets..
