#1: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:17 am ---- did my rear bars and i think it might be a bit too much too low ?
the front is allready on -40mm springs so looks like i'd need -60mm front springs to level the car out
or i could add 20mm to the rear and leave it at that and atleast this time everythings all cleaned , greased and bloody moveable
#2: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:19 am ---- Add 20mm to the rear. Probably look better as well.
#3: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:22 am ---- Add 20mm Mine is the same atm tbh, and at times is a pain in the ar*e.
#4: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:23 am ---- was kinda thinkin that too
just everytime i look at the pic first thing that pops in to my head is "backs too low"
#5: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: Waynerrr, Location: Oxford, UKPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:35 am ---- I would also say add 20mm at the back, however, that doesn't look like a 40mm at the front either. When did you fit the front springs? Could be that they need to be 'bedded' in for it to sit lower.

You could of course think about messing about with the arches like my mate keeps telling me he's going to do...
#7: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:47 am ---- fitted spax 40mm springs a few month back when fitted gti shocks and replaced top brearings.
it had the stoopid pulling/swerving when changeing gear on motorway so basicly all front suspension,wishbones,wheel & suspension bearings,track rod ends,droplinks the lot all got replaced . . . and yup it stopped the swerving
dont think it helps on the front with it being a non sports wing

good luck I need to get round to doing my torsion bars.. too high on mine! Definitely looks too low on yours... Are the rims 16 or 17"?? Looks about a 30mm drop on the front. same as mine which to be honest, improves the ride significantly without being silly.
#10: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: Jammo, Location: BrightonPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 10:17 am ---- i bought some 55mm lowering springs and it doesnt look like its been lowered at all!!! wtfff this was like a few months ago too why hasnt it lowered/
#11: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Thu Aug 26, 2010 11:02 am ---- Just relooked at this thread and:
I think your front looks spot on! Just noticed, thats exactly how I want mine.
#12: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:36 am ---- finaly got around to re doing my rear bars and this is how it sits now.
deffo gonna have to get 180 arb and torsions to get it to sit right/tight as the set up thats on it is too soft.
only found 1 place where it could rub but grinders gonna take care of thet once the suns back out
#13: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:38 am ---- Looks better than it did before. My perfectionism wants it to be up a bit more at the back to level it out though lol.
#14: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:47 am ---- its slightly higher than it looks in pic (bad angle)
was gonna wait to see if i can sort a.r.b and stuff out before going back in again
and i still think fronts too high
#15: Re: i think it went too low . . problems ? ? Author: Dabamash, Location: The car in frontPosted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:48 am ---- Maybe bring the front down a tiny bit and it'll look spot on.
