Should i lower?

[ollie_eastcoast]

Ive got 15" alloys on ma 1.1, its not lowered but had 3 people in the back yesterday and the tyre was rubbing on the top of the plastic part of the outer rear arch. i want to get my sax lowered so was wondering is there anyway of firming the suspension aswell?

[Andy_S]

depends if you've got adjustable shocks?

not sure if u can lower ur car without doin any mods 2 it.

would the rear not become stiffer if it was lowered as its a torsion bar ? im not sure on these so dont quote me on it

[sim69er]

on flat arch models there is some work needed to lower the rear have to grind away the metal lip if you do a search mate its been covered before

^^^ i thought that but wasnt sure

yeh most people forget to mention when selling wheels for 1.1s that the arches need rolling..

You need to lower it... it must look like a tractor lol, I know mine did on 15" non-lowered!!

[ollie_eastcoast]

yea yea definately does lol, so your saying if i get it lowred then it will automatically stiffen the ride?

[David]

If you frequently have passengers then don't lower...
