50mm lowering - Saxperience

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 20:44

what type of arch work would be required (front & back) if i was to get a vtr(2002) lowered 50mm all round?

all depends on what size wheels you have.

good to see someone else from woking

liamk15 · 5th March 2006, 21:05

nothing really unless your fitting 17s

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 21:07

ill most probably have 15" wheels or the vtr rims.
yeh i live just outside of woking bout 10mins away.

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:13

iam from knaphill,you dont live down anchor hill do you?
i have got some vtr wheels for sale if you want to buy them off me.

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 21:18

i live the next road up from beaufort school if you know where that is?

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:19

yes i know my sister lives in the fieldings just oposite the school.

you won't need any arch cutting or rolling because mine is slammed 70mil at the back and she still doesn't scrub with 15s on.

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 21:24

o right, small world. no sorry not intrested in the wheels. im just enquiring about the vtr as im selling my 1.1 for a vtr in a few months and want to get all the relevant information before i go ahead with all the mods.
i thought some arch work would be needed though as my car is lowered 35mm on 15's with the arch lip cut back and i still get slight scrubbage. i no vtr's have a bigger arch but wasn't sure if any arch rolling/cutting would be required

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:30

is there anywhere round here where you can get a car lowered?
want to get mine done but i dont know of anywhere to do it.

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 21:32

i got mine done at john leane autos which is now basically at the back of safeways in woking but it did cost me about £250 for fitting of springs and the torsion bar adjusted.

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:36

was that including the spring or did you supply them?

Bake · 5th March 2006, 21:40

my mate use 2 work at a garage + he managed to fit my springs + adjust the torsion bar for 50quid all in, have you not got any mates who could do it on a weekend with the use of a garage?

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:43

no mate.

Bake · 5th March 2006, 21:48

well i'm sure you can still find somewhere for less than 250quid thats a rip off

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 21:50

no i had to supply the springs. it was very expensive, but then as you say its hard to find some round here to do it, i think thats whay it was so expensive.

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 21:50

thought it was a bit much/some people on here say £150

Bake · 5th March 2006, 21:52

yeah i got quoted £150 b4 my mate said he would do it 4 me!

saxyVTRsaxo · 5th March 2006, 22:10

i wont be going back to him for anymore suspension mods as after i had it done one of my neighbours who works for citroen said he could have done it alot cheaper, so everytime i have a problem with the car he sorts it out (usually free most the time)

puzzledzippy · 5th March 2006, 22:11

if i was to get some spings and dampers would he be interested in some work?
