Re: ride height? - brettw1 - 19-03-2012

Re: ride height? - Eeyore - 19-03-2012
60mm all round but the back is a torsion bar so youll need that lowered too.
Re: ride height? - brettw1 - 19-03-2012
iv done a few torsion bars before so no problem im wanting some arch gap tho
Re: ride height? - Pompey306mark - 19-03-2012
40 or 50mm if you have speed bumpers and curbs to get over in the area you live.
Re: ride height? - brettw1 - 19-03-2012

That looks like its jacked up at the back?
Re: ride height? - kingy - 23-03-2012
depends on what you want. ive gone 55 on the front with back to match on 15's. handeling is epic but for stance i think you need at least a 60 drop on it mate. maybe a little reverse rake on the back end. its all about what you think looks good.

I hope so, its got no rear wheels either so its either 50% hover car or its jacked up

Thats what i thought, so surely it sits a tad higher than that when its down?

I would think so, If I jack mine up like that the spitter is tucked under the bumper

Mines down about 45mm all round which os just right imo and no problem with speedbumps
