lowering fezzer on 17s using gas shockers
i have fitted gas shockers on my mk3 fezzer 2i. 1st reason was [ERRR] i have 17s on my fezzer most pot holes i went over, my wheels would catch or scrape the arches on the front.2nd reason was i wanted a stiffer ride.any way all is good now but i cant help but notice my car needs lowering.im still on the std springs that ford blessed us with.i can fit proberly or near 2 bricks under the arches.can anybody recomend a height that i could lower my car to saftley but looks good.

gas shockers
sorry mate ive missed lead you there.ive trimmed the arches back abit.just need some body how has 17s on there car to recomend a decent ride height (ie 35 mm or 20mm etc. so i can get some springs.when i had oiled dampers it was like the suspension dampers used to sagg.but now ive replaced with gas dampers the car seems to stand up more.giving me more room under arches. and the car is a stiffer ride handles a lot better and takes corners nice.
