My Coilovers...

[dallantan]

Im low but need to go lower at the rear...

...any ideas? - Ive already took the bump stops off!

[Z3cade]

You'll bottom out surely...

Get some pics on here

[dallantan]

Will have fresh pics uploaded by this time next week. I just need to go lower.

Dont know how to do it.

Having said that, how strong are our sumps?

[Z3cade]

Put it this way my M was lowered 30mm and the exhaust used to catch on the odd occasion.. So I fitted thicker spring pads to raise it slightly.. Now its spot on..

I know its about the looks for you mate but be careful you don't ruin the drivability of your zed..

[dallantan]

WOAH!

Well ive lowered mine as much as possible then lowered it some more.

Still need to get lower....

[Z3cade]

How low we talking ?

You'll have sparks coming from the back as your driving

[dallantan]

thats fine, happpy with that.

taking the spare wheel off next week too.

[Z3cade]

If you've wound down and took the stops out etc surely u can't go any lower?

[Z3cade]

Best way to lower more...

Go out with a fat bird or sand bags in the boot

[dallantan]

Yeah, gonna take spare wheel off, will it with cement and secure it back by welding ALL over with lead.

[gookah]

Yeah, gonna take spare wheel off, .

Take all the wheels off,...... dont get any lower than that

Mine is lowered and I have to be careful on poor country roads. Speed bumps are a definite no no. Seriously considering getting some 18" wheels just to give me a little bit more clearance (over the standard 17") but still keep the lowered look.

[Southernboy]

I have 18's...it 's somewhat better, but the speed bumps are a nightmare as are driveways which suddenly pitch downhill from the street...I considered the Reiger spoiler, but what's the point if I'm going to leave crumpled in the road after a couple of k's...

[Badman gee]

So how does the fitting of 18" wheels raise the height of the car?

Because there bigger.

[Bi11]

My front tyres are only 215/40/17, I kind of assumed that if I went to 18 inch wheels with 40 tyres I would get a bit more clearance?

From our street, to get to our garage you have to go over a little hump and then down the driveway and my exhaust often catches underneath, more so in the winter due to the extra weight of the hardtop. A few months back I took my summer wheels off the front to get the tyres changed and put my old winter 16's on.

The tyres on these were a bit flat, so I went to the the petrol station to pump them up and as I went over the top of the drive and the exhaust caught a bit more than normal anyway I carried on and heard a crunch

Stopped and got out and the reiger lip had decided to mate itself to the tarmac . This was because the tyres were a lot flatter than normal and made the front end lower but luckily it didn't do to much damage only a few scuffs underneath which can't be seen unless you look under the bumper. You have to be very careful if the car is lowered and you have any sort of lip or splitter fitted, especially over speed humps etc.

[Southernboy]

That's what I thought...I go over the speed bumps almost sideway to avoid the exhaust bottoming on the road...a lot of the speed bumps here are due to residents complaining about speedsters...so I always give the motor a good rev when I depart the bumps..they're not the quietest....

agree pictures required.

I went as low as my coil overs allowed and it scrappe don most things. Looked good though, I noticed the guy i sold it to has left it low...i like that!
