Default Lowering...

Alright guys, well it's a mod i'll be wanting to do because lets face it less roll around corners and lowered is just amazing. So... Was wondering whats the deal with this news i've hearing about shocks and springs? Sounds like this would be the best option but was looking for a bit of a good drop so coilover conversion may have to be done.

Any advice would be greatly appreciate! Cheers XD

Not much help on these forums to be honest, only kind of help i've been getting is some sort of answers from our american friends but seems to be if you know a bit about cars.

i'm havin the exact same dilemma, for the front i've used the standard shocks with threded sleeves & 5" long, 800lb springs from Demon Tweeks but tryin to get answers for the rear. Tryin to work out how i can ditch the rears seperate spring / shock setup & fit a Macpherson strut cos i want to go really low, worried if i put a lower spring in the back it'll pop out

i'll let you know if i find out more

I have put 35mm lowered springs on all round and leda gas struts on at the back. Just about clears everything with 215/45/17 on all round.
