A few quickies... - Saxperience

Basically i want to lower my sax within the near future. I have decided to go for the Spax VSX 60mm kit. I have 15's with 45 profile tyres. I have a few questions that i was wondering if ye all could verify for me, i have used the seacrh i just want to be 100 %;

1) Is it true down 60mm you have driveshaft issues?

2) How low can i go down on the rear end if i want to have four in the car sometimes, would 60-70 be ok?

3) I wont have issues with PAS pipes because thats only on MK2's?

4) It wont give me issues with the fuel pipe in the drivers side rear arch?

5) Most importantly will going down this amount feck up my everday handling, bearing in mind i dont care about a track set up or anything like that. IE it wont bottom out easily and bounce randomly.

6) Is the VSX a good kit? Bearing in mind i dont want to be going into Bilstein etc territory as again its not gonna be used on the track and IMO its pointless on a Westy.

7) What arch work will be needed, for no scrubbage, can i do it myself and or how much will it cost me

8) sorry for the lack of originality

1: It will be putting much more stress on them, you might be lucky and neer have a problem. Shafts are cheap to change anyway
2: on those 15s down as much as you want
3: there have been 1 or 2 cases of weirdly having a mk2 pipe on a mk1 but in general no you wont have a problem
4: no
5: yes. There is no way of getting away from it. THe shocks will bottom out, the car will skip its just simply to low. How much it affects you is dependant on driver and how they feel about it
6: certainly not the worst
7: shouldnt need any
8: its your car do what YOU want with it

Cheers mate. Kinda worried abotu the skipping now, whats the lowest you can go without that happening? or is it just the sacrificae of lowering the car?

Scott^p · 5th August 2006, 00:13

skipping is controlable its not a major worry at all, it is a worry if your trying to corner at 100mph over broken road but how often will you be doing that?
