If you look at the POTN link that I've added you will see that it gives the ride height drop as between 40-60mm, Probably due to the engine weight. I reckon the Diesel would be the 60mm. They've never been fitted so I can't say more than that. I have just emailed POTN to see if they can give an idea (they don't take phone calls ) I doubt they'll know TBH. Somewhere between 45-55mm I reckon, but that's just a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circle8 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) ok mate cheers, reason i ask is i have some brand new jamex -55mm ones at home...but id imagine hey would be as low as the ones iv got lolI just phoned Demon Tweeks & Spax themselves & they both say that these springs lower 60mm at the front & 40mm at the rear, no matter what engine! I questioned the engine weight issue with the DT guy he said the springs will still sit at those heights. So, probably not what you're after but at least we got that cleared up!

KNITERIDER Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 appreciate the information mate thank you, id personally disagree with mr tweaks unless spax are somewhat different, id imagine all but the rs2000 petrol engines would be a similar height tho, good luck and thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle8 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 I thought diesel engines are heavier than petrol equivalents too. There probably will be a difference but not much in it, you don't know until you try, but at least we know it's approx 60 front & 40 rear now.

Circle8 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 POTN got back to me: Thank you for your email regarding the Spax kit The 60/40 means that it would lower the front 60mm and the rear 40mm. As the RS2000 is lower as standard this kit will lower the car approx 40mm front 20mm rear Kind Regards,Barry SwannSales Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
