Hey guys just thought i would ask.. I bought 16" Oz Titans for the sax and i know the front of my car is realllly low so am expecting some scrubbage! Just wondered if i could get some advice on a set up? How much on the torsion bar and how many mil on the front? Want it for handeling/looks so about 45mil maybe 50mil on the front any idea's? Cheers Krys ;)

depending on weather you have 40 profile wheel or 45 profile, you can go up to 60mm with a 40 profile wheel (reccommender profile) but tbh id lower 50mm on 16's. (cough* eibach sportline spring *cough)

Mine was down 60 on front and 80 on back. When i had 16's on with 40 profile tyres. no rubbing at all.

As stated.. id go 50 all round. Full kit though rather than just springs.

i would get eibach sportline springs and lower 50mm on the rear to, may need to do some arch mods, will defintely need 40 to 45 profile tyres.

eibach sportlines tbh...
thats what i have, cant fault them
standard shocks are terrible though so you might want them upgrading too, bilsteins maybe??

Mine aint standard it was lowered when i bought it so really want them replacing anyway! 45 is the tyre profile.. what like is the jamex springs and dampers? 50mm kit?

If you wanted handling, then you shouldn't of bought 16's, i have 16's on my VTR, 14s on my westie, westie handles so much better, both of mine are lowered 50.. Any lower than 50 on 16's it rubs, mine rubs on full lock.
