80mm coilovers

[Sumner1]

hey everyone i am currently thinking of upgrading to a vts, i was planning on keeping the standard alloys, but was looking to lower 80mm all round on coilovers if possible, does anyone know were i can get coilovers that drop that low and how much will the cost
cheers

dont bother, 80mm on the front will be undriveable

oh really i is 60mm all round recommended as i want to keep the car as even but as low as possible if that makes sense lol

gaz coilover's go down this far and are one of the best around

cant realy see the point thoe tbh unless you was going to a show.

50 -60 mm is more than enought dont get coilovers for this thoe try kamracing.com and check out the apex 50mm kit around 200 quid :y:

thats double what i am now and i have to go slow over speed humps

80mm is not undriveable.

I drove a Corsa B that was down that low. The ride handling/comfort was shite and you couldnt turn a sharp corner properly.

Why not go 60mm?

Lies, -80 will be fine.

was going to say weve had cars over 100 down at front and you could drive them

not cheap to get the coilovers sorted thought as they were custom it worked out similar price to a kit but specced however you like

yeah mk1 golfs ect can go 100mm but not saxos,

i think 70mm max but 80 is a bit too sivere,

on 15" vts will scrape and probibly rip off you vt arch kit at the first corner?

It really depends on what suspension you will be using

If its good quality stuff itll be fine.

LEE_VTR1's old Saxo (search and read the progress thread) was lowered about 100mm on the front and it was fine, sure he had to take his time over speedbumps but there wasnt any massive issues

He was using Pugsport dampers with custom coilovers using over 200lb springs.


Where as if you're some cowboy who enjoys cutting springs to achieve a low ride then do expect the ride quality to be absolutely shocking

Mines down in the reigon of 110mm at the front!?
