How low to go?

[Nixy]

I wondering how low to lower my car? Because as u know speed bumps are a pain and I don't particularly wana be stuck or attempting to snake over it like my bf he has an s13 and that's ridiculous to get over bumps...anyone know a good low measure? Nix

Thanx for the input all...but I'll see how the 50/50 goes first :)

[jaytay]

mines 100 and a bit of a scraper on bumps but looks and handles fine for me depends what kinda drive you are after

[Nixy]

True..I don't mind having it low but I got a few speed bumps where I live and I wana avoid scraping underneath my car

[K11NY_B]

should get it hooped looks amazin and i solve my problem with speed bumps by driving over them sideways if that makes anysense haha

[Nixy]

lol erm i have no idea....hooped?

[Sam-]

I had mine 40 at front 60 at rear. Wanna go lower though.
Having said that ive had a few scraps on rear of car ;-( I put low profile tyres on aswell

[Nixy]

oh nice...well i may go with a 50-50 and see what happens...and if its low and scraps im gona have to snake over them in future lol

50/50 you'll have no problems if thats that you want to go for

Would recommend the Full 50mm Apex kit and not just some springs.

If you are keen go 100mm +

Unsafe

Ouch, you dont hear of the springs snapping on a Saxo too often.

So you'll need to do the front before its driveable again then.

If you need anyone to do the rear torsion bars feel free to give me a shout as we lower here in Nuneaton :y:
