Lowering my car about an inch.

Post by renzkuken1 »

Not sure how much to lower it or how to go about doing it.

I'm fairly sure it is stock height and i have vielside side skirts, vortex rear bumper and will have bozz speed front bumper.

What coilovers recommended and what heighs etc etc i would love to learn more about this aspect of my car.

Ild wait till you have the front bar on then look at lowering it ,
Options are coilovers or lower springs, depending on the type of setup you want ,
Lowered springs would be cheapest and prob best for road car as coilovers can get a bit hard on the road so I've herd,
Depending on your kit and wheel size will affect how much you can lower it ,
You don't want to lower it to much trust me it gets annoying and will damage the kit,
Don't know if you will have to roll your guards or not I had to with my corolla with 17s on it

I think the regular kings/lovell springs lower the car by approx 30mm... you wont have to roll the guards unless the offset is too sick :lol:
The car probably wont be that low to make the tyre close enough to the fender...
