Car handling help
 
I want to lower my saxo flat arch, ive heard 40mm is the best for handling would 50mm be worse than 40mm as it will look better. i only want to buy springs as i dont wanna spend more money on dampers and ive heard standard dampers will be fine if its lowered only a little. Do i need anything else?

also is it a simple job if you know a bit about cars and have the correct tools? which method do i use with the torsion bar?

Mochachino 19th May 2011 12:46

If you are only buying springs then I wouldnt worry about the extra 10mm effecting your handling.

40mm springs will obviously be better on the front than 50mm as they will be less likly to dismount the spring pans.

50mm on the rear is fine, as for the method, just a bar and a hammer!

what do you mean by less likley to dismount the spring pans?

Mochachino 19th May 2011 15:19

You have like two caps on each end of the spring. If the spring is too short the cap wont be on the spring. Comprende?

oh ye i understand, so should i just go for 40 mm or will it be ok

Mochachino 19th May 2011 15:24

Personally wouldnt go lower than 40mm.

mlawlan69 19th May 2011 15:26

thing is that flattys are higher as standard anyway, so to go down 50 would probably be the equivalent of a 40mm drop on a vt.

there is a thread somewhere will try dig it out for you mate.
