Bad Lowering?

[kongo127 0]

Since i bought this Corrado, and from the first day i saw it, it seemed a little more lowered on the rear than on the front.

 

I always thought that the shocks and springs were crappy or even not placed in the right way.

 

This saturday i swapped the complete suspension system from my old Corrado which are 100

i had eibach springs all round and had the same effect, i personally dont know of any kits that give a more even ride height but i`m sure someone soon will, i just ditched mine for a set of coilovers :thumbleft:

You can get lowering caps for the front suspension that are supposed to lower the front by an extra 15mm, never used them though, like gaz said I prefer to go for coilovers.

 

Think JOM and Bonrath do them.

kongo127, no worries!

 

could you do a fitting guide for them when you get em?

[kongo127 0]

Sure, of course!

 

I´ll take some pictures aswell.

 

I´m going for the 15mm ones, i think they´re the closest match.

 

And they are recomended in their website up to 1995 Corrados.

thats what i`m going for too..

 

when fitting these is it shock off and full allignment job?

[kongo127 0]

Yes, i believe that´s the job.

The suspension will get more inside the tower.

It´s the only way to get it lowered with these.

I ordered from VenonMotorsport, but they don´t have the overseas option.

I have emailed them, soon i´ll know about it...

interesting thread. Mine feels as if its pointing at teh sky ever since I put the standard springs back on; as I suspected the front was -40 while the back was -35mm. Only 5mm difference, maybe it was 25 at the back. Does anyone know how well these caps work and if there are any possible problems???

 

ps -->

 

How many post 1995 G60/VR6/16v's were there??? , as your Venom site says...
