How low can you drop on just sprongs?

80mm springs are available for the cost of a small country.

Some occasionally come up for sale.

Also, this is the blog section

Shouldn't have to, they're direct fit

It would probably by wise to fit/make an adjustable panard rod & also adjust the re brake bias when dropping that low

 

[dungeonsound]

Think ill go for 60mm

 

[Skinner_87]

Think ill go for 60mm

60mm is what i run & find it spot on

Heres the bias adjustment just in case

So no need for adjustment with 60 then?

Not 100% sure (i dont run the factory bias adjuster) but it's always best to check this kind of thing once the parts are fitted & suspensions settled its not too tricky to adjust

Edit: No that you have to but when the cars loaded up with passengers etc the rear can lock up much quicker & its never good to be going down the road backwards

You don't HAVE to adjust at all.

Just bear in mind the rear brakes could bind a bit and will lock up much easier.

It will easily catch you out bud especially first few days, I found myself Having to hit the brakes and almost had the rear overtake the front!

take them out..

 

[dungeonsound]

Really?

 

[Robodestro]

i did, look at my display picture
had an adjustable pandhard rod though but it didn't need changing, and the rears never locked up under breaking, but my rears wern't all that great

 

[dungeonsound]

So you had 60mm springs with no problems?

 

[Kamarley]

What wrong with 60mm springs?? I'm looking for lowering springs but dunno what springs to get and where from... Ideally I'd get coilovers on the cheap....
