If its lower than mine, it'll be slammed :)

But currently, it looks rather plain.

george0123 7th June 2011 11:09

its gonna be on the bump stops m8 av you got a pic of your , mines on steelies bud

Tontsy 7th June 2011 11:14

I didnt have bumpstops, was touching chassis, and no springs in the front, with shortned shocks! 14" steels. Was cool, could get over speedbumps or go into multistory carparks.

I wouldnt advise having it touching the bumpstops unless you habe a friendly mot tester.
And alot of haters on here will give you the "its dangerous" talk. So, just be aware of the potential issues it may cause.

It was umm...stiff to say the least.
If you want great handling i wouldnt suggest decking it, yes mine handled better than stock height, and the arse end would kick out non stop, but thats also how i like to drive, left boot braking and liftoff out of nearly every corner i went into.
Stripped out fully, plastic windows, holes in panels, it was light and for a 1.1 it went well tbh.
Few problems being that low, i would catch cats eyes on the bumper and mid pipe. I ripped the xhaust off, nearly every other day, went through two sumps in about 4 months. Changed wheel bearings, every few months, top mounts would last a week before exploding.
Pas pipes need to be removed or relocated. And put some sort of guard under your fuel tank too, i put a hole in mine a few times. Thats a nightmare.

george0123 7th June 2011 11:46

oh i didnt realize all them probs might just have cut springs up front then for the min , i got a sump gaurd made up for me n ill have to get 1 for the fuel tank , i just want it to look nice at the mo till i an afford coilovers but your driving style sounds just like mine m8 lol

george0123 7th June 2011 12:09

so you can run with no springs in shocks yea?

george0123 7th June 2011 14:29
