Shockers??

[sexylittleass]

Hi was just wondering if anyone can help, i am getting the back of my car lowered ( once i have found someone to do it ) asap, do i need to have some different shockers aswell so that when i have got weight in the car it don't drop too much & scrape or do you just leave standard ones on?

Depends how low you're going really. If its upto 50mm i'd imagine you'll be fine with standard shocks for a while at least. It would be best + recommended to upgrade the shocks at some point but it also depends on whether you've got the money or not - if you can afford it do it but if you need to save up you'll be fine for the time being as long as the drop isn't too low!

id recommend you do get some, there not that expensive :y:

you wont be changing the spring rate on the rear so it wont really matter. they do improve the handleing a bit though.

you'd be fine, bit of a harsh ride on rough roads though...

im on standerd shockers and am pretty low

rear wont affect the ride, same damping rate and same spring rate. it will be the front thats making your ride harsh.

Mine scraped with 15's and lowered 40mm with weight in back. Had to cut away the metal parts of the arches on inside

unfortunately shocks won't help as the effective spring rate stays the same (controlled by the torsion bars.).
