thanks,
they are custom made springs by Rayvern Hydraulics. 110mm drop on the front and 100mm on the rear. Is anyone on here running shortened shocks? Gaz have given me a price of £55 each which dosen't sound too bad.

fuckin ell! that's pretty low!
be prepared for some arch contact on the fronts... what does it look like from the back? how's your camber? brickwerks sell a good range of suspension bits if you need shocks. might be worth getting a set of camber shims on the back as well...

sounds a lot I know but the AVO -70mm I had previously where no where near low enough.
Camber seems fine and no tyre rub so far.

What have you done about camber adjustment?
I have a 110mm drop over my mates stock height (again custom springs). Backs are a 70mm drop and i would like another 10mm. I have no more adjustment on my front camber and tyres last me 3 months max (i have access to very good part worns at mates rates) but it is not a permanent solution. However these are:
These give more adjustment and aren't a bad price. Interested in what you have done or maybe you haven't had it this low long enough yet to scrub out a pair of otherwise perfectly good tyres yet. Bet it handles like it's on rails though. Mine does. |
