rubberdubber 0 Posted October 9, 2011 hi all bought a set of weitec 40mm lowering springs for my 92 vr6, fitted them yesterday and rather than a 40mm drop i seem to have a all the way to the floor drop on the rear! everything is standard apart from the springs. gotta be wrongly boxed and the wrong springs surely??

Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 9, 2011 Looks about right imo. I thought you were going to say the fronts as the lighter fronted valvers and G60 have different spring rating on the front and sometimes the wrong spring is supplied for the VR, so it drops it to the floor. Again imo i dont think that looks too bad. DId you measure from floor to arch before and after? By the way its not advised to put lowered springs on standard shocks as you'll wear the shocks out quicker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberdubber 0 Posted October 9, 2011 have got a couple better pictures, the pearlesant one is the vr6 with 40mm weitec springs the blue one is my valver with 60mm springs. vr6 is far too low at the back, looks like ive got a fat bird on board! ha! both cars have same size wheels and tyres. the springs are almost completely compressed also which cant be good...

VW_OwneR_85 2 Posted October 9, 2011 ah that sucks man, i wouldnt be happy with that,the front is only going to rise more when you accelerate,i brought the weitec hicon gt adjustable coilovers and they turned out to be prety good, did you buy the springs new? or secondhand?

johnnyfication 0 Posted October 9, 2011 The weitec rear shocks have a positional sping plate so that you can raise and lower the rear of the car slightly. Yours are probably set at the lowest setting ( I hink there are 3 or 4 height settings). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberdubber 0 Posted October 9, 2011 oh rite so the weitec springs are only gona work with weitec shocks, would have been nice of them to say when i bought them. nevermind getting some new shocks and springs on tuesday so the weitec ones can go back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 9, 2011 They are stock shocks though, are they not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
