How Much Has This Car Been Lowered By?

[msherry21]

Hi all,

Just as the Topic Title, How much has this been lowered? I think its about 30mm, but am I way out?

my car is a 4X4 at present and needs dropping badly.

cheers.

dont know how much exactly but just make sure you are aware that it looks lower even more so due to the side skirts and bumpers..

[shaf2000]

looks like it's lowered about the same as mine, if so. then mine is lowered by 40mm.

here's a pic for comparison

hey, shaf, thanks for that, what springs do you have on yours? where did you get them? and if you don't mind me asking, how much?

p.s: lovin' the car!

cheers,

Michael.

yeah Michael.... looks about 40mm... looks the same as mine also.

[kalmr2]

mine's is lowered by 40mm as well and looks like that

what springs you gettin 'cause i've never heard of a good set of springs for the mr2

mine's are g-max and they're crappy

i've heard the apex springs aren't up to much either

who knows of a good setup for just standard shockies but uprated springs???????????? anyone??????

cheers mate.

unfortunately i have no idea what springs they are, it is the only mod that i havent done to my car. the guy who sold it to me said it was lowered by 40mm

try dan at dcdezign (www.dcdezign.co.uk) for advice on springs and he can do you a good deal or andy from wheelbase. you should be looking at about £120 for a decent set of srpings.

Tien springs lower the car by about 38mm and are around the 190 mark from envy...

Good springs, good company

[msherry21]

right! I have decided to go with a 40mm drop, what springs should I get and where do I get them from, I'll check Tein from Envy, thanks Rico.

What are Eibach like? any good? any other good makes that will do a 40mm drop?

cheers once again.

I have Eibach springs on mine, and again drops the car by about 40mm .

The slight hint of turn in understeer has gone due to them and they dont seem to be tooo harsh ride wise (paid £100 on good old ebay).

hope thats of some use to you fella and heres a pic too as Im feeling helpful :D

[Stu8]

Great pics, they look much better lowered

I was thinking of going with Bilstein's 40mm drop, with uprated bushes.

So you say it reduces understeer, I thought it understeered as there's hardly any weight on the front wheels.

[frosty_11]

As to the technical reasons mate -im not 100% but from a drivers point of view it just feels more sure of itself and less flapable when the right foot goes down :D

[shaf2000]

frosty when you sorting out that front end.... come on sort it out :P

[Jimlad]

I'm the same as Shaf... don't know what springs are on my motor. It was lowered when I bought it.

[frosty_11]

frosty when you sorting out that front end.... come on sort it out  :P

LOL - I know Shaff!!

Im toying with that Greddy font lip (not to copy ;) ) but am just a lil scared of speed bumps.....anyone got 1 I can borrow for a week ??

[shaf2000]

go for it mate, the greddy is gonna look mentalistic :D

mine is sold subject to me taking it off my car without breaking it
