pics of your lowness please

[slim_jim]

can u guys put some pics up of there cars which have been lowered and by how much

[valman]

3 inch blocks rear + 3 coils off the front (about 3.5 inches)

[slim_jim]

That is 1 sick stance does it hit the bump stops and what did you do about the exhaust

[L14MNP]

Here's (more than) a few from me lol.

All down 2" or thereabouts. 2" blocks and chopped fronts. Soon to be 3" all round.

There's a few wheel and tyre combo's so it may give you more of an idea.












Sorry there's quite a few. lol

[slim_jim]

no man its all good lol i love the splitter do you guys think that 3" is the most u can go without being stupid 2" still looks really low it changes the look so muck retro cool lol

[L14MNP]

Aye, you're right 2" makes a difference lol


I think 3" is the limit because of the design of the front inner arches. I'm gonna make some frotn coilovers and probably cut the arch about over the winter so it loses that box secction type bulge thing they have at the top. I can't remember exactly what it is like ATM.

Then it depends on your wheel/tyre size IMO. Say you tubbed the inners/plulled teh outers etc and ran 15"+ then I guess you may be able to go lower than 3". Myself, I run 13's and am in the process of making a new exhaust which will be tucked up higher, but you still have issues with the front subframe scraping, I have already removed the centre section as I snapped the downpipe due to the box catching, and the rear spring shackles also scrape, so -3" on 13"s for a daily would be 'interesting' lol.

What wheels are you planning to run dude?

[volvosneverdie]

I think -2 on 15s "looks" lower than -3 on 13s.
Plus its a lot easier to live with over the bumps.

But im not very Hardcore.


-2 on 15x7s





-1 on 15s




-0 on 13s

[slim_jim]

yeah the exhaust is me worry big time cos of the rear drive-shafts touching what about a side exit with a huge center box to keep noise down

Lots of people have gone side exit, and it makes sense. my GLE wore the driveshaft through the exaust at -2. mind you the zorst WAS hanging by the manifold.

That is 1 sick stance does it hit the bump stops and what did you do about the exhaust

its on the bump stops at the front - theres about 10mm between top of tire and wheel tub
exhaust has tucked itself away from harm as ive gone over loads of speed bumps too
