Lowering - Mike Southy - 01-07-2013
Hi guys, I've just been offered a set of 60mm lowering springs pretty cheap. Is 60mm too low? Not sure how it would look. Thanks
RE: Lowering - Piggy - 01-07-2013
well if you want to lower you car only by 30/40mm then yes it will be too low.
however if you are wanting to lower you car by 80mm then its not far enough

Sarcastic bastard!
Theres 306s down further than 60mm mate, thats pretty common actually, can't see you having many issues...
RE: Lowering - WiNgNuTz - 01-07-2013
60mm is how much mines lowered by (at the front anyway, backs still standard at the moment, hopefully tackling that soon!), and its just right.
RE: Lowering - kingy - 01-07-2013
60mm is about right imo. Just a matter of opinion and what your taste is.
Re: Lowering - kentiiboii - 01-07-2013
Depends what size wheels you have. I have 17s and cant imagin going much lower than 60mm on front.
Where as if you have 15s you have plenty of room
RE: Lowering - Piggy - 01-07-2013
that can depend on tyre size/profile though. a low profile on 17s could be same outer diameter as 15s with large profile tyres!
RE: Lowering - Darren123 - 02-07-2013
60mm is perfect imo
I've 16's with 45 tires and it sits lovely
RE: Lowering - Grant - 02-07-2013
Mines down about 60mm. Only time I encounter problems is with the lower brace on when tackling cushion speed bumps.
RE: Lowering - Mike Southy - 02-07-2013
Awesome, that's good to here, thanks guys
It should be lowered by the end of the week. I'll be sure to put some pictures up. I gotta find a decent set of wheels now, i was thinking of 15' steel wheels off a Partner van, in white, thoughts?
