How low to go?

[marialouise_xo]

Heyyy
Looking at lowering my (black and) green goblin, but I still fancy being able to drive over speed bumps and go down to Newquay with trunk full for the Relentless Boardmasters.
So my question is this, how low can I go so that my car is still practical but so she looks good?
orrrrr, do I say fuck it and higher her up and turn her into a little monster truck? haha!

here we go again! hahaha, 40 rear, 50 front!

[Pricklep]

40

[marialouise_xo]

my mate has a Corsa that's 60 on the front and 80 on the back, you can't do anything in it, hence the concern :')

[marialouise_xo]

40 does look sweet though.

[mof]

yer 40 is most usable, have less problems in the long run aswell.

[LSOfreak]

yeah prickles does look good, although its worth mentioning, thats a vts which usually sits about 10mm lower on the front

so thats about what a vtr will look at 50mm

Really?
My mates had a corsa C and B and run them and 100mn + and gets over bumps still

Vts 60mm front 65mm rear

[MartinObviously]

My 106 GTI is at 50mm and I've never had it scrape at all. I drive on C and U/Z class roads all the time too.

[Pricklep]

I caught mine in a multistory car park a few weeks ago. Not used to the entry level lows. splitter kissed the tarmac.

Passer bys gave me a "cringe" face look.

[MartinObviously]

I just went out in my car and it scraped on my driveway.

I retract my previous statement!

(the exhaust back box clamp has an excessively long bolt)

[Saxdaniel]

Haha. If its just the bolt, catch it a few more times and you'll be all good

Gonna be looking into lowering mine in the near future. This thread helped cheers

60 mm no point in any less. Do it once do it right. I'm down 60 and clear everything including the speed bumps around here.

yeahh, I'll try find a picture, she's slammed right to the floor! have to use my car (not like I'm complaining) to get to Dominos!

I've only got the East Coast model, so it sits pretty high up anyway.

Mine is 40 rear 50 front and it looks good and the ride is still good too.

[Gashman]
