Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm not sure how much my car has been lowered. At a guess I would say somewhere between 25-40mmI have 17" rims with 205/40 tires. I want to get new suspension, possibly a Koni spring and damper set that lowers the car 35mm. I will also get Supersport Top mounts for the front which lower the front another 10mm. So the car will sit 45/35.I think this will work with the wheels I have but I wanted to ask for some advice. I don't want to do any arch work if I can help it.What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
sharky_70 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 depends on the ET (offset) of the wheels, how wide they are, and how stiff the suspension is Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Should be fine... Im about that low on 17s with no problem, i went lower and had scrubbing on the lip at the rear, so raised it a tad, but its still around 40 at the rear.... you can always go a click or 2 stiffer on the rear to help too... oh and whats the offset??

Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't know how to tell what the offset is. Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Here are some pics of the wheels on the car, maybe it might help. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It should be ok... the best thing to do is just try it... if you have scrubbing then your options are to get a slight stretch on your tyres and go for 195s instead, roll your arches or lift the suspension and make it a tad firmer...

Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm going to give it a go.So my final decisions are Koni adjustable dampers with 35mm lowering springs, Supersport top mounts for the front (not sure about the back yet) and powerflex bushes.I think that should do it.I think I will order them from Venom....unless any one has any suggestions of where to get them cheaper. Will Venom do a discount if I am a premium member? Link to post Share on other sites
