Opinions on lowering plz people!

[SAM33R]

whats the best ammount to lower a standard VTR wit the original rims?

i was thinking 60 mm

im after looks here...

also why do people lower the arse end more than the front, does it improve handling?

thanks

sam:hug:

[bullit]

no they think it looks better.

looks is a personal pref. i prefer 40 but then the odd one lower can look good too ie euro

I'd say go for the 50mm Eibach kit, and try to get the back to sit a little bit higher than the front

Pic of Baz's saxo on Eibach springs to give you an idea

Baz's one looks slick...

thing with the arse being lower on a saxo looks like its about to take off lol (no-offence)

also on Baz's the profile of the tyre look a bit more than 45, or is that just me?

[bullit]

thats because they dont come with 45 s ;)

40-50mm mate, with 60mm on vtr rims look as if the rims arnt big enough to fill the arches imo

[Steve]

40mm is where its at

[grantlowery]

45 mm ftw. Im off too Ricky P's on friday ti get it done, can't wait!

[GroomGTI]

90mm looks the nuts.

[SAM33R]

thats because they dont come with 45 s ;)

50mm on Eibach's ;) same as baz's

Just right imo, and the Eibach springs are top quality

[Dez]

50mm is the way forward imo

[SAM33R]

50 it is

how much are reasonable Eibachs?

Lowers approx 45-50mm

is it 50mm after they settle in?

[alextoffie]

I would say so yes, but it doesn't really matter bud, the springs fit a variety of Saxo's so obviously if put on a VTS as opposed to a 1.1/1.4 the engine in the VTS will be heavier and therefore the springs will sit slightly lower.

It will look fine :)

50 ftw. go back end a tad more imo, evens it out ! and definally doesnt look like its taking off unless you differ by about 30mm

[ryhornvtr]

Lower it 5mm less at the back (50 front/45 back) so it keeps with the standard balance, will also handle better than if the rears lower than the front.

[alextoffie]

If you lower it 50mm exactly at the front, and 50mm exactly at the back, it will sit (in terms of on an angle) exactly the same as it sat before. People usually lower the back slightly more only because the front sits lower naturally.

it will look stupid like that. arse up !

:homme:

unless you thrape it around every corner you wont notice the different one bit. i can still go round corners just as fast now down 50 front 60 back than when it was like standard. it feels better now tbh.
