would lowering 40mm be to much?

would lowering 40mm be to much? would it cause scrubbing?

 

[bolton_18]

worried bought speed bumps

 

[Alfonze]

yeah so Ive gone and ordered some 35mm ones instead

 

[johnsams]

shouldn't it be okay on speed bumps if its uprated too?

Alfonze,
where did you find the 40mm springs?

 

[Alfonze]

mambo is selling some for £45 posted if your interested.

 

[johnsams]

i'd love to get em, but don't have a clue on how to fit them?



if anyone wants to come and help me?

 

[Alfonze]

me neither thats why im gonna pay £75 for a garage to do em for me lol!

I posted a link to new 40mm springs recently. There's not much between 35 and 40, so i'd go the extra 5! People stick coilovers on with much lower drop than 40mm.

 

[johnsams]

i've only got 14"ers anyway so shouldn't rub at all.

aah, i really want them,but dont want to pay stupidly high labour. anyone have a link to a guide on how to do them?
or avail. to gimme a hand?

First cigarette of the day, plus a coffee= 'ahhh'. Lol.

I'm pretty sure haynes has spring fitting in it, i'm not sure if fitting lower springs alters the process though..

 

[bolton_18]

u need coil compressers from ebay 4 10 squid then a set of spanners and a wrachet ser and off u go not hard job but u need an adjustable panard rod cuz one of the weels rubs on the arch , just the way they been set up so thats a must to get anyway

First cigarette of the day, plus a coffee= 'ahhh'. Lol.

Here's 40mm lowered with 14'' alloys with 185/50 tyres...............still looks too high

 

[Alfonze]

I have 15s so it should look better hopefully?
