psiburr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 all the way down ?! nasty :D i've got 16" borbet A 9s on koni's , I'm low but not ALL the way down (any lower and it will hit the pipe until modified) and I almost bit my tongue and bruised my coccyx's over the first few bumps !! only benefits are that it looks mean and the way it makes my girl friends bits wobble going over bumps :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psiburr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 this is mine, lowish but not slammed. I would like the look of lower but the roads in my area just wouldn't be much fun if I wound it further down :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Not silly low, Koni with Eibachs springs prob 40mm drop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psiburr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Not silly low, Koni with Eibachs springs prob 40mm drop what would that make mine ? 60 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 7, 2009 pisburrr that looks like a nice drop. Stance looks good (listen to me i sound like a e38 kid). What you got to bare in mind is, if its a daily then you've got to think of speed bumps. i'd like to go lower but i come across too many speed bumps to allow me to go lower with out dreading hitting the spoiler or cat shield badly.

psiburr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 yeah its my only daily driver, I'm not going lower ( in fact for ride comfort i'd even go a little higher) as berkshire (esp maidenhead and slough) is speed bump crazy !! I guess it's a balance between looks and comfort and I think I've found it 8) knocked the sump twice only slightly but enough to memorise every bump and chose my journey carefully !!

psiburr 0 Posted June 7, 2009 looks lower than mine and kinda uncomfortable maybe 70 ? hope your misses aint a big lass :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonard 0 Posted June 7, 2009 can i get a shock and spring set up at 60mm?? they seem to be only like 35-40?? Coilovers would be best bet mate. At least that way if you do go too low you can go up again! LOL I couldnt run mine any lower where I live in Peak District ideally need +20 travel not minus 40cm :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a massive amount more than Koni dampers and H&R springs TBH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted June 7, 2009 everyone says there the ones to get, well at that price range!! will have to invest in some me thinks... will change the mounts and bushes and whack a set of them on, JOB DONE!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted June 7, 2009 whats/wheres circa??? i can only seem to find them for £720 etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 7, 2009 can i get a shock and spring set up at 60mm?? they seem to be only like 35-40?? That low as a daily :lol: it'll be a speed bump nightmare I wanted to go lower on springs/shocks but couldnt find any setup for a VR that went lower then 40mm. For anyother Corrado its fine, but for a VR i couldnt find anything lower then 40mm. That is spot on psiburr imo :D Ben if you want coilover, i recommend the KWs. I've got a set of variant 1s and love them - reasonably comfortable considering they're harder then standard suspension. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
