Lowering my car

[Alfonze]

Should I lower it?

 

[joesouthgate]

yes! looks so much better even just 30-40mm

 

[Alfonze]

theres a poll lol

 

[joesouthgate]

i know i voted yes

 

[Blake]

yes, looks mint and transforms the handeling imo

 

[sonic]

You need to add a poll to your post Alex.

and yes, you should do it imo.

 

[Alfonze]

it should be there?

 

[sonic]

my bad

 

[Alfonze]

Just getting the springs could be costly although I think mambo is selling 2 sets for £45 a peice

£75 thats how much Im paying to have them fitted plus increase in my insurance premium

Now if I could fit them myself things probably would be different saving on labour cost

 

[ollyc98]

No, jack it up, there's not enough jacked up micras. I'm doing mine on payday lol.

 

[Alfonze]

lol

 

[Robb]

Didnt realise how easy it is to change the springs til i did it t'other day

And well worth it.

There good from here! lots of k10 stuff from here on my car!

 

[Alfonze]

Its still alot having to factor in labour and insurance costs.

 

[curtis]

do it yourself! its so easy!

 

[Alfonze]

If I knew how to Id consider it. What would I need?

 

[curtis]

One of the many who have already done it could do a guide!

Im not a k11 person so come on k11 people! lol

It should be basically jacking up the car, undo the bolt at top then the two at the bottom.....

then take springs off and put new ones on!

Check out the K10 guides, it is quite similar i think!

 

[Alfonze]

Il consider it.

But wont I need new shocks, new tyres I have 50 at the mo wont it cause rubbing? If thats needed Im probably looking at at least £350

 

[Robert]

I've got 195/50/R15s on mine, lowered 35mm on standard shocks.
Have minimal rubbing on full lock and thats it

 

[Alfonze]

Im really confused about what to do, part of me wants it and part is unsure

 

[ollie240585]

Do it fella, you should have no problem with scrubbing.

It improves the looks and handling

Nothing major on insurance either.

 

[Alfonze]

I thnk its a extra £35 over the last 7 months of the premium.
