How do I work out my lows?

[MuZiZZle]

I have a receipt for my springs that are on the car, with no actual record of how low they are, what's the measurements and from which points to work it out?

It's not the lowz you need to worry about, it's poundage of the springs for when your tubby bumz is in the car.

Well it could be the case, mine was on Spax suspension, and mine was -40 - 50, that pic on the drive has a slight incline the drive dips a bit towards the house so you're probably on the -40 -50.

Wheels turned but you can see the gap is smaller...

Height Spastic

I've got faulkner on the case now

What poundage you after?

You haven't a hope of getting a 50mm ride height stiffer than about 160lb.

I'll just get shorter springs surely?

The 155s Kam sell are 250mm, Andy at Faulkner told me to get 240mms if I want 200lb

With shortened dampers (i.e. Bilstein B8/ Group N), the "limit" of free length is near enough 240mm. Any shorter and the springs will unseat when you jack up the car.

Friend of mine used to run 240mm 200lb on his VTS and the ride height was no more than -30mm from standard.

Was it full of helium?

The dude at Faulkner says that a 240mm/200lb equates to the Kams 250mm/155lb

Surely he knows what he's on about?

[deano_123]

are you going to go lower and lay frame?
