Lowering

Post by TimD » 17 May 2012 09:11 am

Hi guys, i have bought a volvo 340 to use as a starter drift car. Its a shame because its actually really tidy lol i have had a search around on lowering it, i just wanted to ask how much to cut the front springs by and what grade of oil to use? And to confirm that ford escort mark 1 or 2 lowering blocks, and land rover 90 or 110 rear struts is the best way to lower the rear? Thanks

DOOOO A SEEEEAAAAARCH!!!! Top right hand of your screen. Has been covered very recently lots of times. :wink:

In short, chop springs, lowering blocks, landy dampers, thicker oil in front shocks. Cheapest way of doing it. But search for more info.
