Dropping 45/50mm

[Matt]

Do the dt, what springs to get? 60mm will be too low for the shit Isle of Wight roads, but want lower than 40mm. 50mm would be perfect. Is there any way other than coilies? Or is it a case of buying like 1.6/1.8 40mm springs? As the xud is heavier it will drop more? But handle badly?



Getting a head f*ck with it now so any opinions?

[Curt]

Man up and go for 60 . Probably won't drop that much anyway depending on what you buy

[Matt]

Haha fuuu man, some of the roads are killer even at standard height!!

[samass]

Just go for 60 you massive pussy, you know you'll only want it lower anyway

[Matt]

Haha I know I'll prob end up going 60mm but really don't want to tbh as the roads here are f*cking horrible

[samass]

So, just go the "long" way runs, it'll still only take you a minute or so anyway, it's not like the islands very big.

At any rate, you drive in hedges and on walls more than you do the road, sooo..... *shrugs*

[Curt]

If you're going to be a fanny, just get some cheap coilies again. You know they're decent enough and then you can fine tune the height.

Although, if I could drive the '5 around Surrey with those roads, you can drive a -60 DT on the island

[Matt]

Curt come over and see for yourself, I get lost in the potholes! May be getting some technics again

[samass]

Matt, you know that big round thing you sit in front of when you're in the car? if you turn that, the wheels turn, which makes the car turn, you can use this to *avoid* potholes...

get some 40mm springs and have them lowered to 50mm, theres a place near me that heats the springs up and compresses them.

thats a freaking scarey idea!

[Matt]

Yeah f*ck that! Sounds almost as bad as cut springs!

[Piggy]

In my experience matt, a 300mm spring never drops 30mm, 40mm not quite 40etc...so just some 60mms...bet it would only drop 50mm

I bet it doesn't . The rest is pretty much what I said...


Matt, I've been there before...

[Matt]

Haha oh yeah curt, I forgot


Should come drive down the Newport/Yarmouth road. It's f*cking terrible. So is the car park at view point!
