Dirtysouth 0 Posted June 17, 2003 Hi there newbie ere, drive a 1.8 valver not bad, as i am 22 and insurance is a killer lol anyway to the point, i have 7.5x17inch BBS RX rims on a 35et with 205/40/17 rubber and i was wondering how low the car can be dropped without any arch modds? all advice will be most appriticated, also if i go very low is there any chance of knocking out the swivel joints or anything like that?

Bournemouth James 0 Posted June 17, 2003 It is a good idea to take out the plastic dirt gaurds from the front arches, easy job, they just unscrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pau1 0 Posted June 17, 2003 Dirtysouth, Welcome to THE Corrado Forum. As James has said, you should be able to drop it quite alot -60mm +. And removing the inner wheel arch is a good idea. ( Rubs on full lock, possible MOT issue ) Good Luck ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtysouth 0 Posted June 17, 2003 i think i am going for a 50mm drop any ideas of which springs to go for? i may go for the springs first then shocks at a later date havent decided but replys again much appriciated :D Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rams 0 Posted June 18, 2003 At a guess it could have something to do with the 50 profile tyres. Also is the back lower than the front? Do you have ICE - Sub etc? That is all exteded weight.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muly 0 Posted June 18, 2003 The back is abit higher than the front and dont have any subs in boot yet,but if i put 17s on it would still catch i think even with 40 profile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
