flusted 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Hi Im thinkin of buying an 80mm venom motorsport suspension kit but not sure if thats guna be too low.I have 17"wheels and i want it as low as possible and dont mind a few scrapes here and there.Can anyone advise me wot to do or has anyone tried this kit? Cheers for any advice Oh yeah car is corrado 1.8 16v with cut springs :cry: and mot on thursday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted February 14, 2004 yeah, 80mm is do-able... When I first fitted my coilovers it dropped around 100mm! :shock: If it's the same as the Golf -80mm kit that Dubwhizz had on his G60 golf, the ride quality is suprisingly good too, and the handling's pretty good as well... 8) Personally I'm not into the whole low as you can go thing, (getting old these days! ;) )but this is probably the kit I'd get if I didn't have coilovers and wanted to go that low.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 14, 2004 Personally I'm not into the whole low as you can go thing, (getting old these days! ;) ) Old? at 28? LOL! Mind you I feel old at the moment.....too many back-to-back nights out! I'm not a fan of mega lowering either. I value suspension travel and I don't like my driveshafts pointing at the Moon!. Doesn't do your gearbox any good either, or the handling come to that :? K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Mine's as low as a Corrado will go - front tyres rub all over the inside of the front wheel arches. Around 5" of ground clearance. :shock: Gonna have to invest in a coilover kit - maybe get a bargain at GTI inters 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted February 16, 2004 Nope, I lied - I have around 3.5 inches of ground clearance - just measured it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Jet 1 Posted February 16, 2004 Cheesy that means when your speedo is reading 60 you are doing 64.6 thats 7.6% more surely you should have 215/30/r18's on there http://www.a16toc.com/tirecalc.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
