southendboy Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 could anyone tell me where i can get the cheapest lowering kits from for a mk6 escort,and also how much arch work will be needed on 17" rims at a 60mm drop??Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3V HA Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think that G max are about the cheapest?! prob lookin at about 200-250ish for the full kit including dampers, which youll prob need if your putting 60mm springs on! I reckon that youll need your arches trimming to if you go for 60mm cos ive got 40mm lowering spring son mine with knackered rear dampers and they rub like fcuk when ive got someone in back! (hence the reason im stripping it out! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
