Are VTR's VTS's lowered more than 1.1i

[saxonutter]

hey i noticed and someone claimed to me that VTR's and/or VTS's are lowered more from factory. than 1.1i?

becuase the thing i have is.. i have my 1.1i wiht 40mm springs and rear tors adjusted to suite.

now i have seen mine next to a VTR which has been dropped 40 and the VTR is a lot lower?

becasue im swapping my strusts and doing a rear disk upgrade in a couple of days and just wondering this before i actually do it.. cas my fornt bumper will be on the floor if it is a bit lower?

Thanks for your guidance.


Edit: shit forgot to mention my 1.1i has got full vt kit on so it can be compared properly and its a lot higher.

I think he is pulling your plonka and its just been lowered more than he is saying

[BruceybabyVTR]

I could understand the two hi spec models being lowered, prolly -15mm "sport suspension" i know dubs do that on gti's etc. Plus always think furios and that sit a lot higher!

[saxonutter]

no it hasnt mate. but i mean ihave also seena VTR standard and it looks about the same as my 1.1i lowered 40 mm :( and yes my saxo is lowered 40mm wiht red lowering springs and torsion bar done..

[saxonutter]

im juist asking becuase im changing my strus and axle to a VTS parts lowered 40mm and was wondering if its gunna drag on thefloor LOL

[hesslevtr]

yes they are lowered a bit more iirc

might be because of engine weight though

[Tammy_VTS]

if you have a arch kit on... if you have glued it on... you might of set the arches etc to high... making it look higher compared to a VTx!!!!

Engine weight between a 1.1 and a 1.6 is really nothing what soever.. matter of say 20kilos or so!!

[saxonutter]

lol that is most likely impossible because when teh rear bumper bolts on the arches only line up the right height really. some with front.

[saxonutter]

well all i can say is im gunn atake some photos before and after and we will see lol... i cant wait though.. lol i actually want it a bit lower. but not much that the fornt bumper hits everything.

[BruceybabyVTR]

as i say, im sure that they were on "sports suspension"

[saxonutter]

thanks for teh advice but by tha you mean teh srpings but, the ones i have have 40mm lowering spring on them.. so would this be the same or is it something to do with the strust themselves?

[BruceybabyVTR]

well if like i said the VT's were lowered 15mm mor than std sax's then if ur car is lowered 40 and the vt is lowered 40. it would still be lower than ures, if u see wot i mean?

[saxonutter]

yer.. k kool well im chaging the complete struts and axle froma VTS onto my 1.1i so i will wait and see what the end result will be.

[Tammy_VTS]

you using right spring on right suspension leg ?

rear torsion bar should be exactly the same tbh... was it done professionally!!

looks standard ride height to me!

[SAM33R]

arches make it look lower too

IMO its exactly the same at the front but sits higher at the rear now due to the arch as some of the bodywork has to be cut away to fit the arch

[hesslevtr]

vt models are lower then none vt models

[SAM33R]

surely since VT models are sports, much lower and different shocks for handling

im sure VT shocks are shorter, especially rears as i was looking at a site earlier
