Rossz1 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi guys i have had my zed for a couple of months now although it has been garaged at my dads house in aberdeenshire since december, im thinking of getting it lowered and spacing it, i have the standard rays on it as it is. i was just wondering if anyone has any advice on lowering? i think i am going to space it 20mm front and rear and ill be using the eibach spacers. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 20mm eibach ones are spot on with rays. Available from CS I've got the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 thanks he has jus pm'd me.Is there any problems with lowering it that you have heard of? As long as you dont mind a bumpier ride. Speedbumps arent too bad with lowering tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zednick666 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Spacing wise, I went 20mm eibach on the fronts, but I went for 25mm on the rears and I'm glad I did - it fills the arches wonderfully But I like big butts, and I can not lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like 30mm but not sure on problems with it? if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossz1 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 i have ordered the 20mm spacers all round so am hoping itll look good and i ordered a pair of vredestein ultrac sessanta's for the rear arrggh i have spent alot of money today. i might wait to lower until there is a meet and see if i can go in someones who's is lowered.

andyvvc Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 25mm drop all round on Eibach Pro Springs. 20mm Eibach hubcentric spacers. I've run this setup for 18 months after getting it sorted at ESR. Only drawback is 'tall' sleeping policemen - but i have only had a few scraps Oh - get the camber re-set once its lowered, otherwise your tyres will wear abnormally and you will lose grip when cornering etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossz1 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 it does look so much better with the spacers on, cheers for posting the pics up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
