Hi all,

I've got the cash now to drop the lude down, I was wondering how much peeps have dropped, I'm thinking of going 40mm but am a little worried that this is too much (scrapping and things), I know mark94 and shadowzz have dropped, I was just wondering how much?

Thanks

Dave

All the way down on Skunk2 coils with Koni Yellows set all the way down

That'd be over 40mm wouldnt it? How the car now?

ds,

Mine is lowered 1.75 inches which converts to 44.45 mm.

I have no problems getting in and out of my new driveway (two car wide driveway so I can go in on a big angle. At my old house, I had to build a ramp so that I could get in and out. you should have seen the looks on my neighbors faces when I was lugging this ramp around just to get my car out of the driveway.

I haven't scrapped on anything yet (although I don't drive it much) and the ride is still comfortable. My car sits 5.5 inches (139.7 mm) off the ground in the front.

neuspeed sports here, and I rub my front on every driveway. It will definitely change your driving style.

Padge,

I have the TEIN NR coilovers.

Like loudlude mentioned, no matter how low you end up dropping the car, your driving style HAS to change.
