ass on the floor!

[WestyVTR]

i am already lowerd 40mm all round on VTR alloys the rear isnt low enough so its going down anotehr notch! will i encounter any problems here

[Sean]

you will if do it by notches lol that'll take it to 80-90mm at the back and 40mm at the front...

[Scott]

do it right. Also welcome to lift off oversteer with the arse being low

[b0t13]

which is great fun round, roundabouts!

[brett22]

no you wont mate iv got mine 50mm at the front and i think its 75mm on another notch and mine is fine iv had it done over year now and no problems.

[Sean]

as Scott said- DO IT PROPERLY and get it sitting exactly how you want it. notches is inaccurate and will fcuk the axle bearings. westy you should know the correct way to do it by now ;)

[WestyVTR]

i used the word "notch" in a lose way! i know you need to do it properly.... sorry:wacko: my bad!

ok thats cool so this friday = 4 branch, 266mm brakes, & on her ass!!

the manifold is waiting at my garage in bubble wrap its going to be like xmas wen i gat down there....! LOL

[WestyVTR]

you might have to drop the front end a touch more aswell sometimes i look at mine and think the fronts abit too high and others i can look at it and think its ok

[WestyVTR]

are they 14's also! leaving mine 40 at the front....

[Dan]

Dont leave the front 40 will look daft imo.

[SteVTR]

no westy they are 15's

[WestyVTR]

ah 15s! ill be 40mm front, upper & lower braces, rear at 60mm with no spare wheel & back seats - that should see her handle rather well IMO.

[Scott]

having the rear lower than the front wont to anything to improve your handling, quite the opposite. Rear will be to low to allow full suspension travel so it will skip around, less weight over the front wheels so understeer, then mega lift off over steer to flick you round into a hedge. There was method in citroen's madness in having the rear a few mm higher than the front

[WestyVTR]

Hmm well ill have to trile run it for a month then see if i like it or not, could always drop the front say 50mm

[SteVTR]

mines not that bad there is the odd road it skips about on but it still handles realtively well can be abit of a handfull at times but thats how i like it

[WestyVTR]

loo in thge 2nd pic down! is it me or do those white wheels look photoshoped on...! LOL

trial & error i guess with the handling then if i like it great if not change it!

[YM03]

mine lowerd 60mm front and 80mm rear, car sits nice and level

[WestyVTR]

& handles like!? SH&T or not that bad?

[YM03]

some people say they handle like shit that low, but I like mine can chuck it all over, but one thing it don't like is bumpy country roads lol, can lift back end so loses a bit grip, but its now on 17's so handling is out the window

[Graeme]

mines 60mm on 14s matey

[WestyVTR]

sweet..... like it.

[Emz]

my old one was dropped 60 all round on 16's and was terrible handled like poo and caught on every little bump but my new one lowered 55 on 15's and can throw it into corners and it sticks love it :fcuk:

[WestyVTR]

:wacko: well mine will be 40mm at rear 60mm - or there abouts see how it goes!

that's more to do with the drop in wheels size, you'd be hard pushed to notice a difference raising the suspension by 5mm.

westy- lower it equally ie 50 front, 50 rear etc. may look too high at the back but they sit like that as standard so you need to keep it level for decent handling. even 40mm is too low for optimum handling anyway so anything beyond that is purely for looks (says he, lowered 60mm all round lol ;) ) :)

[riggsy]

would always have the front sitting slighty lower than the rear, if the rear is lower than the front it looks wank imo! just looks realy wrong.

dont spoil it do it right

[WestyVTR]

it should bring it level i think as its higher at the front atm, i can always readjust it if its no good. may go 50mm & get some dampers also, if i like the look of it at the back. 50mm on standard rims will look on the floor!!:A: well it will be on the floor i guess! :wacko:

[gotamintvtr]

it will handle like a shopping trolley. i wouldnt like it that low. my vtr is 35mm and its fine and looks plenty low enough

[shawty]

jus got mine down 40mm went and piked it up this morning, pleased with the results looks nice and low and seems to handle nice, havent been for a proper drive yet though to may elderley drivers about during the day

[Billog_VTR]

mines been decked and handles sweet as you like round corners untill you brake!! with the back end been so stiff theres alot of action during braking at high speeds and changes in camber that move the weight to the front of the car are also worth watching out for!

[s4xo]

same as me YM03, ive done sthe same as you

[WestyVTR]

Hmm decided to leave her at 40mm alround now though! going to fit 185-50-14s next time i need new tyres should se a few mm lower! LOL
