Lowering question?

Postby dr_blackman on Sun Jun 30, 2002 12:02 pm

I want to Lower my 1.1i on its standard shocks as these are only a year old. I want to lower it by 35mm, i'm running on 15's.

The question is bump stops i think spax do these, will they fit on my suspension, or aint they worth it, your knowledge on this would be appreciated :-)

Only asking because my Sony cd h/u skips now, what will it be like when lowered and will these bump stops help if i can fit them on standard suspension?

Cheers,

Dave.

bump stops wont do anything, if u wanna lower it then u gotta have a harsher ride, 35mm will make it nice looking and it wont be really harsh suspension ur changer will skip more when going over bumps but its a price to pay, just avoid pot holes etc

bump stops even new ford ones will help !

Chassis Dynamics lowering springs id recomend as spax tend to be a harsh ride !
