Do the dt, what springs to get? 60mm will be too low for the shit Isle of Wight roads, but want lower than 40mm. 50mm would be perfect. Is there any way other than coilies? Or is it a case of buying like 1.6/1.8 40mm springs? As the xud is heavier it will drop more? But handle badly?
Getting a head f*ck with it now so any opinions? ![[Image: 20A1806D-891D-40FB-BD52-AD519177A607-734...391753.jpg]](http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d196/mattbush/20A1806D-891D-40FB-BD52-AD519177A607-7340-0000058F46391753.jpg) TEAM CONROD SHITTING RALLYE!

Man up and go for 60
 . Probably won't drop that much anyway depending on what you buy

So, just go the "long" way runs, it'll still only take you a minute or so anyway, it's not like the islands very big.
At any rate, you drive in hedges and on walls more than you do the road, sooo..... *shrugs* Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club

If you're going to be a fanny, just get some cheap coilies again. You know they're decent enough and then you can fine tune the height.
Although, if I could drive the '5 around Surrey with those roads, you can drive a -60 DT on the island

Matt, you know that big round thing you sit in front of when you're in the car? if you turn that, the wheels turn, which makes the car turn, you can use this to *avoid* potholes...

get some 40mm springs and have them lowered to 50mm, theres a place near me that heats the springs up and compresses them.

In my experience matt, a 300mm spring never drops 30mm, 40mm not quite 40etc...so just some 60mms...bet it would only drop 50mm
