Lowering
-
what is the best drop to go for handling perposes im looking to put 16" inch alloys on soon as ive herd 17s make it too hard
-
I've got 17's on mine and I dont find the ride to hard.
-
what drop do you have and make of lowering kit
-
Mines not lowered. I suppose if you did have it lowered then 17s might cause the ride to be harder. Sorry, I should realy read posts better and not reply when I've just woken up :lol:

ive dropped mine, 45mm on jamex prings
on 18z
with kyb shocks
and its kitted too
fronts dits 2 inches from the floor :o
i dont find the ride hard at all
ive got early front leather buckets, that keep me comfy :P
-
Sounds nice, 45mm drop. This seems a little expensive though, did you get the kybs and springs from probe store?
-
they were out of stock on the sprins so got them from somewhere else
and got the shocks from a local motor factors (alot cheaper)

there is a coil over kit from us ebay. around 50 shipped.
-
there was a thread on mere or mx3.com about them
if you want your suspension to break on your first corner go ahaed and waste 50 quid
you get what you pay for in life
-
Getting KYB shocks, and 40mm PI springs fitted on Wednesday!! Cant wait very excited!! Still on standard 205/50/R15's at the moment. Still a couple of track days left in them yet, then I will probably go for 16's.
-
you should be able to go to 40MM on standard shocks, but as freedom said, you get what you pay for, you should be looking at 80-150GBP if you want anything decent
-
Picked my car up today after the shocks and springs fitted. First bump, (Pulling out of garage) and there is a knocking noise from the back. Metallic sounding. I have given it back to the garage to have another look. Was looking forward to giving her beans too :-(
There were some sort of wrap things on the ends of the stock springs, i wonder if this has any effect?
-
ah yes same as mine you have a coil knock you need to have that rap on them to try and stop it althow a bit of garden hose dose the job a treat
-
it could be the above, or the springs settling, the ends of the coil have a groove they sit in
-
^^correct its because the spring isnt seated properly
-
nah its seeted propaly its just 45mm compresses so much that the botom few coils knock when going over bumps
