60mm for looks, but 40mm if you still want a good ride.

60mm for looks, but 40mm if you still want a good ride.So ide go for 50mm...

[Aron]

no cuz 50mm would kill the handling a bit more(unless you have a very good setup) but wouldnt look as good as 60mm

[LeeM]

get some 60mm springs

[bmx91ben]

I'd take 40mm for practicality

[saxomk1]

what would happen to the handeling if i did slam it

[JimoVTR]

100mm FTW

what would happen to the handeling if i did slam it

depends how much you spend slamming it
you could spunk a few hundred on some h&rs or something and it would be quite good
or you could splash out and go fully custom for a few quid more aswell as balancing the rear with some 19mm bars and a 22mm arb off a vtr/s and it would be quite fun in the corners


its down to how deep your pockets are but ive seen cars down around 100mm that still handled ok

most people would just get a lowering kit though for a good compromise

[saxomk1]

im thinking 50 60 mm im looking to spend around 200 250 soo any ideas

[LeeM]

you looking to use just springs or springs and shocks?

[Tontsy]

to tuck 14 in the arches ... slam it!
im on 14, look at my thread, thats on bumpstops, take it from there... tyres are 165/65, so got a couple of inch in the side wall to play with for your height.

[saxomk1]

im not sure i think im gonna go 50mm or 60mm could anyone give me any ideas on what spring to get and were to get it done in the east mids area also how much am i looking at with shox aswell cheers
