how low is my car?

[ct-hdi]

Right basically my spring has snapped and want to get more ordered. Was sure they were 60mm but not after searching loads of threads I aren't too sure if it's 60mm or 40mm

I running 195 45 16s... here's a pic:





IF It's 40mm... to anyone that has 60mm drop on 16s.. are there any rubbing issues?

[Piggy]

Thats 40mm imo

[ct-hdi]

I have seen 40 and 60mm hdi springs.... is there a way of getting something in between?

[Iaitoo]

Just get adjustable ones?

[ct-hdi]

Coilovers? Bit pricey really. Cheap coilovers are crap ride aren't they?

Also do you get any problems with 60mm drop and 16s

[welshpug]

thats more than 40 on the back

[ct-hdi]

Yea I'm thinking 50/60 on rear. From reading back my old.progress thread on .net I think it's on gti6 shocks and 40mm gti6 springs. Would that mean it's not 40 drop on a hdi? Or more than 40mm on a hdi?

[WiNgNuTz]

I'd say if you're going lower than 40mm, make sure you use uprated shocks, as 60mm on standard shocks will end up quite crashy. If you do go 60mm at the front, don't touch the back.

[ct-hdi]

I don't no what to do..

Like I said, it's on 40mm gti 6 springs and shocks... if I get 40mm hdi springs to go on the gti shocks will.it be abit lower than on gti springs or higher or about the same?

[silverzx]

Not very low.

[Eeyore]

thats a 40mm drop and probably around 50mm on the rear. it looks good.

So youve got 40mm gti6 springs on a hdi? hdi lump is heavier?

i would just get the same springs as before.

[ct-hdi]

I think I'm going 60mm on front

---

The back sits abit lower than in that pic so should look good

[Poodle]

Gti6 lump is heavier, it might drop another 5-10mm with the right springs, but i'd be surprised if it's that noticeable.

45 maybe

All sorted. Lowered it on 60mm springs today. The springs that were on before we're huuuge ( I got the built up 2nd hand) and now I'm thinking they weren't right for a 306. On 60mm springs and it rides so much more comfortable
