lowering 40mm or 60mm?

[dave_20]

am thinking about lowering me mk 6 escort, am going to do it with a g max spring and shocks

av been told that 60mm will scrub my tyres realy badly and make it handly pants speed

bumps dont bother me round mine but theres a few bumpy roads

i also think 40mm isnt low enough IMO

 

what do you guys recomend?

[Hezz]

I'm thinking of putting PI springs on mine 35mm drop

 

most people on here are saying 30-40 is best all round

 

how much is the gmax setup?

 

cheers

Bout £200ish mate. id go for 40mm, ive seen 60mm drop and its so unpratical.

[dave_20]

just over £200 off ebay all in do you want me to see if i find the link?

[Hezz]

no ta, the pi springs are only £60 del'd.

 

are they any good?

[dave_20]

thats £200 for springs and shocks erm as far as i know (witch is a lot lol) there ok but not the best on the market

[Hezz]

sorry for hijacking your thread but any recommendations on springs only?

[dave_20]

erm not sure mate id look on ebay i know that there are loads on there

i have heared that just springs handle pants on uneven cambers and bumpy roads

[Lee R]

depends if you want it to look slammed or handle nice?

 

I chose 40mm, glad it did

[dave_20]

cheers mate, am prob moregointo lower it 60mm coz 40mm IMO looks half done.

[Lee R]

depends what you are lowering it for

[dave_20]

40 is the best compromise. Its a common myth that the lower you go, the better it handles

[dave_20]
