How much should i lower VTS?

[Saxo_Shaun1]

I have a phase 1 vts how much should i lower front and rear so i can still carry passengers and so it wont scrub. Also whatgood front lowering springs are there? Cheers

[langy88]

35-40mm, I've got a 60mm drop and if I have more than two people in the car I have to slow for speedbumps but it's not that bad. Saying that I ripped my exhaust off today but that's due to rust

mines lowered 75mm and i dont have any problems with passengers in car...
its those dastardly speedbumps that get me!

[Mezza]

50mm is probably the best size imo though! :y:

[Saxo_Shaun1]

Okay what make springs would be good for the front as i know some can be really harsh?

[langy88]

i would get some coilovers much better and worht the extra money

Im down 35 - 40 mm, no real problems until I head down old country roads!

60 front 70rear looks best imo

[Barry123]

my opinion, 35 mm.

Rides well,
Handles well
looks, well, like the suspension hasn't broken.

Cheers they made a system for my mk2 golf didnt know they do suspension there will call them

[Lukes_Saxo]

Yeah I got my cat back system done there as well,

The lowering was £200 for front springs and the torsion bar just so you know don't let them charge you more mate, maybe even see if you could knock the price down at bit, however my torsion bar was seized up so the had to heat it up to free it which was why it cost that much

[LSOfreak]

krisb isnt too far from you and only charges £90 for front and back ;)

Wow, you got mugged off!

I charge £90 to do the torsion bar and fit springs. That price stays the same regardless of if it's seized or not and the job is Guaranteed to be done in less than 3 hours.

Worth the extra few miles :)

Am lowered 50 front 80 rear, it looks the business, but it you want your vts to handle really well go about 40 :P

[Mike306]

40mm

eibach 50mm are good though

[bourney]

personally i'd say 40mm front and rear, but reading down this thread it's obvious everyone has there own opinion.
Best thing you can do is go on the progress threads. Look at some pics, find how much they're lowered by and just have a look for the one that you think looks best.
