Lowered cars

[Gilly]

Lowered cars mostly suck. 'drop of win' certainly sucks, hard.

This **** about stance is rubbish too. I want a car to handle well, not look 'good' (most of them, like that 106 and the Merc in the vid for example, look *****.

The guy early on in the thread that posted a few pics is misled too, as the Vectra looks better than all the other cars due to the fact it hasn't been lowered to the point of looking stupid

haha would it look better if it were higher??

Yea, then it would look like a nice normal-ish old golf in good condition

My DC2 is too low and on eibach lowering springs, especially noticable when going over a massive dip at speed.

Putting coilovers on to raise the height a bit and including adjustable camber arms. All this should allow it to be setup nicely by the specialist.

Standard ride height and OEM setup = stilts and bodyroll, therfore I'mimproving it for my requirements.

then it would just look like a golf with a load of stick on tat. with the bling bits it has to be low

My tyres are up in the arches, but I don't get any rubbing issues, even when driving hard on track. Having said that, the wheels do sit in-board quite far, so during compression they tuck into the arch and don't touch the lip. I'm considering getting some spacers to improve the stance, will probably have to roll/cut the lip if I do...

Randomly off topic I'm sure I saw your car in Tesco Bradley Stoke the other week. Didn't know you were from Yate, surprised I haven't seen you around more as I'm only in Iron Acton lol.

My car came with lowering springs when I bought it, not sure how much the drop is but after looking at my mate's new coupe the originals are comically high!!! The ride in my car is awful however feel every bump in the road!

Afraid so.

probably using original/knackered dampers or resting on the bump stops

My 146 lowered itself about 2 inches over the 2 years I owned it. Those springs were very tired, too much air on Lakes B roads.

Well im sorry our views dont coincide

I know i said springs, but what I actually meant was springs + dampers. knackered still could be true though.

 

[Matt82]

ah. check those dump stops then fella. no excuse for the ride to be too bad unless youve got an almost track orientated kit

 

[Janesy B]

No that's gay, like all the pictures of cars with broken suspension.

 

[Clarkey]

What's broken about it then?

 

[Janesy B]

Looks gay, like roof racks and stupid stretched tyres.
