If you want to be able to drive anywhere don't go too low!! I have to go the long way round my village to avoid speed-bumps!!

:fcuk: how do you get over speed bumps with that!!! lol Or i'm guessing you try not to? :ponder:

[Scottish_Gaz]

try not to but if i do, i go over on 1 side if i can, 99% i clear, all in technique lol

[kristel10589]

No matter how slow or what angle i go over them it always hits. But that's probably because most of them round here are 100mm!!! Ur's is definitely lower than mine aswell

[brooksy22]

mine is lowered 40mm at the front and 95mm on the rear !

[saxo_bigbass]

Does any one know how to or if i can delete the other coments/pics below that I posted and they cocked up? :oops:

[mattg]

:panic: how low is that, christ thats probably the lowest saxo ive seen, i like what he/she's done with the rear disc back plate, looks nice in blue:y:

[SXO_VTS_LAD]

I think he lowered it by something like 100mm, I'll found out for you, It needs lowering a bit more at the front though to even it off a bit

[mattg]

looks sweet, bet he hits everything though, yeah get the front down abit to level it.

[tommyVTR]

there's a good compromise! putting it flat on its arse or having access to all roads and hurdling those cat destroying speedbumps!

[Hopcraft]

kristal, yours is lowered about 40mm, lol, thats not even low tbh dont know how your have trouble with speedhumps

sxo vts lad, now that IS stupidly low, lol, love to see some decent pics of it...use photobbucket too !

[D_Man]

Kristal mine is lowered 60mm on 15's and I can get through Hook ok, even with 3 people in the back!

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

-95mm at rear

- 70mm at front,

scrapes on dodgy country roads and college speed bumps, a back wheel will lift off if going round a sharp corner on an incline, can get air on motorway when doing very high speed, handles like a c*nt on smooth roads, bounces around like a c*nt on bad roads. No real damage due to lowness yet except loosing a side skirt, anyone got one in posi blue?

[M08]

get a pic form the side mate

[MaRiO89]

Here's mine..

Its about -60mm on the back and -50mm on the front..

Running Group N Bilstein dampers aswell so it still handles with some dignity despite being low..

If your gona go low, get some proper shortened dampers ffs..Its dangerous on bumpy roads without tbh..

Btw, that blue saxo thats lowered like 1 million mm looks pathetic imo..Looks like the BX's on the hydraulic sus..lmao..

I know definitely that mine's lowered more than 40mm!! It's probably the angle i took the photo, it is deceiving!!

Have you tried going over the 100mm bumps outside the community centre? :oops: The old ones they had along the Tesco road used to scrape but now they've replaced them with lower ones :y:

[phillyh]

Mines getting done enxt week, 50mm on front, probs about the same on the back, shouldnt have too much of a problem with speedbumps tbh

[saxo-john]

mines lowered 60mm on front and 75mm on the back
scrapes sometimes but not often

[mattg]

Ummm looks like around 120mm on the rear, got to be on the bumpstops, looks about 50mm front, looks abit silly looking like a speed imo, try and go even or slighly lower at the back but not that much lol.

That cant be a safe of comfy ride, bet its easy to see the traffic lights though with the front facing up like that:fcuk:

[Sean]

it looks retarded and it goes without saying the handling will be shocking. Good luck getting the front to match without hydraulics or airbags.

[saxo_bigbass]

hmmm lol. ther lowest colies ive seen are 65mm lol. i quite like the rear but if the front mathced would be nice lol!!! has any one got any other vts wheels slammed hard?? thanks.

[JC-Furio]

hmmm lol. ther lowest colies ive seen are 65mm lol. i quite like the rear but if the front mathced would be nice lol!!! has any one got any other vts wheels slammed hard?? thanks.

You really like that?

I think it looks a heap of shit in all fairness lol... much more than 60mm down is just pointless imo.

But each to their own and so on... :y:

[saxo_bigbass]

lol yh im doin mine 100 lol. wish i could match the front. butmine will look good tho lol

[CJ_Saxo]

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l252/ChrisJ_06/SP_A0295.jpg

Theres mines, 50/60 at the front and rear no idea, just lowered it till i liked it! Does sit equal though, so guess the back is lowered about 60

[ryhornvtr]

At a guess that ones sitting on bumpstops. It doesnt matter how much they measured it past probly 80mm, it wont sit any lower. Looks shit imo.

[scottyvtr]

i cant understand why people want to lower so much at the back as someone says "the speed boat look" handeling must be utter pie - level or i think some said earlier slightly higher at the back say 5mm compared to the front ours is 50mm front and rear!!!

[wallsy]

Same, really dont like that look imo, especially as the fronts so high on that one. Cant imagine that being any fun to drive.

[wallsy]

That black one above looks nice though. :y:

[adyrood]

lush black saxo mate reall do like that alot

[mikevtr]

mk2 vtr's dont have this problem its just the centre silencer that catches or you could just cut it out

[c-h-r-i-s-w]

yh does luk sweet well low

[Ashleyp]

the blur saxo looks way too low at the back.. i dont like it

[saxo_bigbass]

thought id ask in this thread. do vtr/s saxo lower more at the back then the 1.1? as ive got an axle that was lowered 100mm on rear but only just clears the top of the vts wheel tyres.is this right? seen loads of saxo that aint 1.1's lowered much more. and is there a limit to how low it goes.cheers!!
