How Low is your Rado?

[ExR32 10]

Hi all,

 

Just wondered how low others are, as I'm looking to drop mine a little more, but still undecided. Pictures would help!

Not a fan of uber lows. Don't forget, concrete roads are stronger than a steel sump.

It's low and slow!

Mine's not too low and I think very, very low can look a bit silly on older cars.

Mines low but not ridiculously low. I like the fact my car handles really well and can just about get over speed bumps. Plus I'm too old for a slammed car now :(

Shameless self whoring! Weitec 40mm shocks and springs but i'm thinking it's closer to 50 or even maybe 60mm?

The roads around Bournemouth suck really bad !

Not low at all. I run Boge sports shocks and H&R springs and the ride is just a little lower than normal and very comfortable.

Bally - that is low! Do like it!

Oh go on then seeing as everyone else is lashing pics up. This is about as good a side profile as I've got

Current height not too low. I like it to handle so never so low that the subframe is lower than the wishbones..... No matter how tempted I am to run it right down just to see

 

And I really want a rolling shot of my car!

It's a fine line on these cars, too low ruins the drive and too high ruins the looks!

I cheat with air ride:camp:

 

 

 

Obviously couldn't drive it like that, so I tended to run at this sort of height just pottering about locally.

 

And in all honesty it drove a little crap, was definitely a better drive when it was maybe 30mm higher than this at least.

 

 

Whoring the pics as I do miss driving it. :-( :brickwall:

Couldn't agree more

Air ride, thats the way forward, can set how you like .:thumbleft: My lads got it fitted to his Golf gti, looks good up and down when you come to a speed hump.

Mine. I catch in quite a few places round these parts but it's only the splitter that does :)

Would help if people could measure from arch to ground, that way we could compare. As MicVR said best halding seems to come from when wishbones are at least parallel with ground however above that is even better. Looks wise that doesnt work. I have mine set just below that point as its the best compromise for looks and steering feel.

 

The whole if your not rubbin your not dubbin is a load of tosh IMO. If your rubbing then there is something wrong IMO.

Run mine at the height set when owned by Coullstar. Perfect blend of looks and just being able to clear speed bumps.
