lowering the k11
- Thread starter wizzy
- Start date
yes im aware of that, just wanted to speak to people who have actually done it already or could point me in the right direction
Cheers mate and thanks for your reply, im presuming that they are suzuki alto? and you,ve put the rear suspension legs from the alto on the front of your micra?
Yup, that's right. If you go for them, you need the springs off of 2006 and before....not after, they changed them after that date.
Here's how she sits with that set up.
Looks nice, its crazy how much of a ball ach it is just to lower a simple car.Yup, that's right. If you go for them, you need the springs off of 2006 and before....not after, they changed them after that date.

I don't know mate, I get the springs, and pay a garage to do it....easier.
Thats all good if you,d rather do that. but that takes the whole fun out of building something. I would rather do it myself if its not to difficult. so your car has alto rear springs on your front shocks and apex springs on your rear?
Yup, 30mm apex on the back, and plenty low enough. Alto rears (pre 06) gave a nice drop on the front with 60mm profile tyres.
what about polo 6n coilovers or corsa coilovers? do these fit. cheersYup, 30mm apex on the back, and plenty low enough. Alto rears (pre 06) gave a nice drop on the front with 60mm profile tyres.
The polo 6n fit but theyre dodgy apparently, there are photos on the lowering sticky and the corsa b can be used with some modifications,but some say theyre very hard
The Apex, and the Alto springs are a straight drop into the car.
