Lowering a VR6?

Recommended Posts

Hello people,

I am new this forum and would really appreciate some advice. Having just purchased a lovely '95 VR6 I would like to enhance its appearance further by lowering it approx 60mm.

I can only find 40mm lowering springs/kits for the VR6, can you get 60mm?

Will 60mm springs from another application (golf etc) fit? and perform well?

 

Are coilovers the only answer?

 

I am on a budget having spent all my cash on the car!

I'd stick to a 40mm max drop. The suspension geometry becomes screwed up and your oilsump is going to take a beating. Weitec, h&r, nuespeed, h&r, eibach all make 40mm springs.

OK, thanks.

What about putting on slightly bigger tyres to try and fill the arches a bit more? Has anyone tried this? Say, instead of 205/40/17s putting on 205/45s ? Or will this just be daft?

Lloyd, that'd just throw your speedo readings out and slightly mess up your gearing... ;)
