Lowering

Post by Stuart_SRI »

I have lowered the rear of my car by 40mm, still got the front to do.

I know it takes a while to settle, but my suspension has not gone down at all, is this usual??

Or will i only notice it once the front is brought down??

Also what changes do i need to make to allow for this new suspension, (camber, tracking, braking regulator etc)

ah right, after playing around with springs of different sizes i gave up and got coilovers, alot to outlay but worth every penny, i havent played around with them much. just adjusted the damping (on the dampers) at the front to make it bit softer
