whos slammed?
 

hi guys and gals, just bought a vts, its my first saxo :)

ive always drove vw's till now and after looking around on the forum most people seem to say down 40mm is enough, where as my mk2 golf gti was down 150mm..?

can anyone shed some light on this for me? pics of cars and how much there lowered please :)

ta,

ally.

yeh man my saxo is on standard vtr alloys in red with a white lip and its lowered on the bump stops which i think is 120mm its so much fun roud roundabouts lol i have 40mm on the front only casue i cant afford more you can only realy go 50mm on the front other wise it beats out the powersteering pump lol

power steering is for girls :P can you swap the rack out for one from a lower spec saxo or 106 ?

My old westie was 60 on the front and sitting on the bump stops on the back :y:




People only say about 40 mil because that is good for handling and day-to-day driving :D Me personaly likes the look of cars slammed :)

My Line >



Thats with a striped out back aswel ;)

this has been said so many times lol. rearcan be slammed to what you want but front doesnt match unless you spend some hard cash. or cheap way chop bits.

im sure the power sterring only rubs on the mark 2? is this true.as ive dropped my mk1 vts 60mm front!

ye iv only heard affects mk2

I've been on the bumps at the back but it's very dangerous, makes the car jump like hell.

Raceland do a cheap coilover set on the front for £140 which will drop like 90mm or something then match it on the torsion bar, sorted.


Can't believe noones said it yet, PICS OF GOLF!

lol bet the golf looked a beast

haha, ill trowl through photobucket in the morn for you :P

whats the over all opinion for the best handeling? maybe 40-50 down and brace it up ?

ally.

35 - 40mm, upper and lower braces, carnt go wrong with that

finally someones founbd out what we have all been saying since the dark ages.;)

can anyone recomend me a good set up? not looking for mega gear, just going be bursting aboutthe B roads etc

for anyone interested, ive had to lighten it up a bit but you get the idea

ze golf

bump stops are dangerous you just have to control them like a man and 40 mil doesnt mean shit with handling if you drive properly you dont need suspension on the back pure hardness is the way to stick to the roadddd

mines 80mm on the back and 60 mm on the front.
thinking bout dropping more thoughhhh
or maybe air ride?
golf is mint mate!!

ours aint slammed but its 50mm front and 45mm rear

as low as you can go unless you take bumps out remember im on 14s so pretty low in the middle

40mm all round
