jenks 0 Posted May 24, 2004 Is it wise? its just theres new shockies all round or will it f##k them up? How comfy are the supersport coilovers that venom motorsport are selling?Is it a hard and bumpy ride? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted May 24, 2004 DO NOT DO THIS. Springs will be too short and will dislocate when going over yumps etc. Always buy matched dampers for the springs. The handling will crap as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted May 24, 2004 I agree with coullstar - do not use standard shocks any lower that 30mm - you WILL have an accident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted May 25, 2004 Well, if they're decent springs, you should just bounce all over the road... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris CORRADO 0 Posted May 25, 2004 i have the the supersport coilovers! and they are wicked hard... meaning you can tell if you drive over a grain of sand LOL not really they are ok but ery hard compairded to merc S-Class air suspection... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 25, 2004 yeah, but your car is sat on 17 and is on the ground Chris.... It looked well lower than mine at Inters and I'm on the same suspension setup only not as low... 8) Remember, the lower you go, the harder the ride/damping HAS to be else you'll bottom out all over the place! :| At around 35 to 40mm lower than standard, the supersports are pretty good ride wise... a little harder than some people will like, but for £400, I can't complain... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted May 26, 2004 Ummm... On coilovers the sprng-rate doesn't alter as you change the ride height, while the damping should be close to constant throughout the travel of the unit. If the ride gets harder when you lower it lots it's because the coilovers are on the bumpstops... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I know that the spring rate doesn't change (that's kinda the point of coil overs as I know you are well aware 8) ) but the shocks DO get harder the closer to the end of the travel they get...
