david 164 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 im thinking of lowering,can anyone tell me the lowest i can go without having to alter any of the arms or geometry,ive got 20 and 25mm spacers fitted,so also need to know if the arches will rub? thanks for any advice Quote
Ruddles Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Back when i had 20/25 spacers I lowered the car 20mm on coilovers and had to fit camber kits front and rear plus adjustable a-arms. Quote
Ian Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Every car is different, some will need camber arms & some wont. Mine went 25mm on coilovers & never needed to use camber arms Quote
ianphampton Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 When I fitted BC Coilovers (Well, Abbey Motorsport fitted them!) between 15mm and 18mm was the max we could go without needing new camber arms Be aware as well . . . (This is the negative bit from an old fart (Me) now!) At this level you can no longer straddle those single speed bumps because you ground out - so you need to take it GENTLY over all speed bumps - and even getting in to the supermarket you need to go REALLY slowly . . . . If you lower more than this 15mm or so then you're definitely in VERY CAREFUL driving territory. (Sad commentary on the state of our road network) Quote
