Suspension height?

[pooley]

Hi all, I have ordered Coilovers for my ep3, they lower up to 65mm, does anyone know or have pictures of how it would look down that low or near? Not that I would probably run then that low but just wanted to see what choice I have, thanks!

 

[Chris.]

65mm will look silly IMO.

 

[pooley]

Lol I know it prob will? I got abp on at the minute but ordered some Coilovers and want to get rid of some arch gap and wanted to know if that the Coilovers that I'm getting with a option of 65mm drop will get rid of that gap that's all? What do you think?

65mm and your wheels will be up inside the arch. Will look stupid and ruin the ride. 30mm will be more than enough mate.

 

[TomCat]

yeah, 30 should suffice. I know of a guy who has lowered his 120 and its looks a bit daft to be honest

I was laughing at someone at croft yesterday, he had a golf and in the usual fashion decided to sit it on the floor. After everyone was parked in the field, croft decided to put some hay down to absorb some water and with the ruts generated by hundreds of cars going in and out his car had collected a pile of hay and I saw him trying to dig all the hay out of his frontend and arches :lol:

A nice reminder that even if you can lower something that much, sometimes its not always the best idea

 

[pooley]

Haha yes I don't think I'll be going that far down, like the low look but not turning my car into a road sweep!

 

[pooley]

What do you think this is lowered to? Carporn.co.uk silver ep?

 

[ChrisEP3]

Iirc that was a 50mm drop

It's the level I'm planning to go down to

 

[pooley]

Yes that's what I'm thinking! My 65mm Coilovers should do the trick then!

Look up the rack arm raiser tegiwa do

I have meister r coilovers with straight arms so when dropped no force is added to rack

But normal style arms and a 65mm drop will make for a lot of bump steer as well as force on the rack
