Seen some slammed !!! K11's around 100mm down looks awesome but scrapes on most things.

This is 35mm matiz rear lowering springs on standard front micra shocks for a 55mm ish drop on the front... with corsa b rear shocks and chopped springs cut to match the front height.
Cost... not a lot really.
Wheels are 15 inch with 195/45/15 tyres.
Oh and of course a NODSPEED fully adjustable panhard rod.

I just saw show us your lows so I did.. I'm lonely on the k10 side of the MSC no ones really on that side.

 

[Clodo]

Sorry I couldn't resist no hard feelings x

 

[Chris Huzzey]

god knows how low this is now, scrapes alot and is bouncy! but its on polo coilovers on front, corsa sxi shocks and 4 and half coils cut micra springs on rear, suspension made by the one and only @Enuo , ill try find the photos of the underneath to show you haha

 

[Chris Huzzey]

when i had a big gay splitter on it too haha!

Somewhere around 80/90mm. 4ish coils off the front 3ish off the back (I think, it's so long now I'm not sure). All fully captive. Used in this spec for three years or so possibly more, particularly as this is essentially the same suspension as the LX, but with a little more off the springs since then. No changes made specifically for passing MOT's along the way. Rear springs captive by reducing the travel of the rear shocks (new mounting point welded on further down the shaft, and the protruding shaft sleeved up to the thread inside the boot), fronts held captive by wiring the ends of the spring into the cups. Wheels and tyres are 7x13 Et0 with 165/55.

Cost, under a tenner - 1mm cutting disc and a small roll of stainless wire. It's not the comfort option though. I'f I'd been in the position to spend any money, and use time to trawl around some breakers, I'd probably have gone for the next £ per drop method, Matiz struts with dropped perches, and the ubiquitous Corsa and cut rear.

Awesome man, I am not really going out much at the moment. Car is coming first so trying to restrict my spending so I can get more car parts.
