340 86" mod, lowering at the back..
Hello everyone. I have bought myself an 340 86 mod, and I was wondering how many millimetres I can lower it back without getting any difficulties?
I thought about approx 30 mm.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards

3in if you want to bottom it.
2in to stay comfortable.
So 50mm easy.

Okei..
Issue is that I often have up to 5 passengers, and there is still no problem lowering it 50 mm?
Thanks for ur answer(:

Mines down -2in front and back, and Ive (pretty much) moved house in it. And had 4 passengers in at the same time.
Might be worth updating your shocks while youre lowering, and uprated springs are MUCH better than chopping coils.
Do it right and youll be ok 4 up at -50mm.
Bodge it and youll probly struggle.
As long as your shocks have got life it them, youll be right.

I had -8 cm and stiffer dampers at the rear, no problem
Thats the daily (got - 15cm on the drifter but that got coilovers)
