matth76 1 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 HiDoes anyone here have their car lowered 30mm? I'm thinking about getting mine lowered but can't decide between 30mm H&R lowering springs plus koni shocks (total cost Link to post Share on other sites

silverline 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 i ve got just 30mm springs with the standard bbs wheels doesnt ride like it would with uprated shocks and springs but it is noticably stiffer. i done it for the ride height looks so much better! it now looks how the vr should of when it came out of the factory. not with a ride height of a 4x4!

matth76 1 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Thanks for your replies guys and pics. Silverline do you have any pics of your car lowered 30mm on standard 15"bbs wheels? Do you find the handling slightly better with just the springs? Link to post Share on other sites
silverline 0 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 i ll try and get a pic for you. yeah the handling is certainly better. feels more stable, better on roundabouts etc, it just doesnt "wallow" like i found it used to. if your really keen then i recommend shocks and springs. but im more than happy with just springs. done 120 5up and no scrubbing at all.

Jezza 0 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 if you want it slammed you need much larger than 30mm. I have seen a 60mm drop and i dont think its enough. but i am inclined to the oem+ way of styling. so it depends what you want. i think a good 80mm is needed. but arch work is needed if you do that and want 17's on the car. also, never take it for granted that if it says on the "tin" 30mm that it will drop by that. it will more than likely only drop it 25-27 mm.

ingham 5 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Konigsport coilovers.worth the extra money.i have them on mine Link to post Share on other sites
silverline 0 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 you shouldnt go anymore than 30mm with the standard shocks. any lower and uprated shocks need to be fitted. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for all your replies guys. I feel I'm opting more towards the FK Konigsport coilovers rather than the separate H&R springs and Koni shocks. The Konigsports have adjustable dampers and are only Link to post Share on other sites
pete8tch 0 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 eer no mate you wont find it that easy i dont think . the heights set by you turning a collar on the shock body to set the height so you will need to remove all the wheels to do it.never done it but i dont think its that easy but there is a lot of guys on here that can tell you from experience Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Can anyone tell me on here what would be involved with adjusting the height of "ride height adjustable coilovers" and "adjustable dampers"... i.e after the wheels are taken off what has to be done next? Thanks for any help. Link to post Share on other sites
