LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 For example, if I bought some 60mm drop springs, but only wanted to drop it 30/40mm....can I still do it with the 60mm springs, or is that not advisable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaMMy125 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 sorry to say but I think i might cry soon, can we ask if you should be getting a mechanic to fit your springs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scort_CVH Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Slam it 60mm anyway, looks good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl160180 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Liam i'd go 40mm if you want a decent ride out of the car, I had both of mine 60mm and it was a bit harsh but not OTT. You have to sacrifice the ride quality a bit for looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostic Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Save up and get adjustable suspention then you could change it to how you likeA tad expensive but if you bought some second hand you could sell them on at a later date and wouldnt lose much thats my thoughts anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not mechanically minded, AT ALL, so anything at all that happened to my car would go through my brother or a mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm after standard/subtle...but also so it looks nice and sorted. I think 60 would be too much myself I think I will end up going for 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_aaron Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 40mm on 17s is nice - fills the arches nicely.... you've got 16s with 55 profile? should be around the same look if not i THINK spax do a 45mm spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
